Customer Comments

  We like getting e-mails from customers letting us know how much they like the cactus we send them.

  Some of our customers not only eat the cactus, they also share it with some of their pets, such as tortoises, iguanas and parrots.   Since cactus is so good for humans, I suppose herbivorous and omnivorous animals would be helped by it also.  One thing I’ve heard over and over is how much animals are unrestrained in their appreciation for cactus.  Here’s a few recent comments from customers…..

 ”I just recently ordered 5lb box of your cactus and it just arrived today.
 You have very fast service and I will be buying my cactus from you in the future.”

And then later…

“Sure you can use my comment, Also i did purchase the Grade D, and like
your website said it doesn’t look that bad at all.  Already gave some to
the tortoise and he loves it.

I read up on how to store it, Thanks.

Look forward to ordering with you in the future.”

“You have excellent cactus AND customer service!  I hope I live up to the scale you set!

We really LOVE everything you sent us!  I just made ‘Gulasch’ yesterday

I always have put leaves in the salad and serve the fruits as
dessert and we love all of them raw too!  What’s not to love about cacti?
(Thanks for removing the spines )

I am also trying to dehydrate the leaves, it takes quite a while at the
temperatures raw people prefer.  The fruits almost dry faster and must be a
treat to everybody on this world even dehydrated (nothing beats fresh – how
I envy you!)..  Did you ever try to freeze fresh leaves?

 

I will be back with an order soon.

 

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing food with us!

(Note from John, the leaves can be chopped, laid on a cookie sheet and frozen, then put into a bag to store. But they reconstitute mushy and unattractive…. but if they are put into a burrito anyway no one will know… or if fed to tortoises, they will still eat them with gusto, but they do prefer fresh)

“I actually only order the half pound because I feed it to my baby tortoise, Bodhi. It the perfect size for him because he’s so tiny that if I give it to him every day as part of his meal he finishes off the half pound just before it starts to go bad.  Any larger quantity would go to waste. In the future I’d like to get some more tortoises though, and when I do I will order the larger quantities.

   Your cactus is by far Bodhi’s favorite thing to eat – I have to chop it up really small so that the grasses and weeds that I feed him in a salad stick to it, otherwise he actually digs through the dish to pick out only the cactus!  
Thanks again!”
