As a group of sustainably minded individuals and just all around awesome people, I want to put another Kickstarter project on your radar. It is about your health as well, but this time in the fitness category.
42 Birds just launched an all cork massage roller. This beautifully designed roller is an environmentally friendly alternative to clunky chemical based foam rollers. The campaign just launched so head on over to campaign page to learn more...
...One of the things you will learn about is the myriad of benefits of rolling and why cork is the most sustainable type of forestry on the planet. With cork, trees are never cut down, but the bark is simply peeled back. This magical material also comes with a host of other benefits too, such as being anti-microbial, anti-allergenic and anti-static. Who's in?
Oh yah, fulfillment has begun!

It's the time we've all been waiting for --- your rewards!
Here is what you need to know:
The rewards will start shipping today! You will get an update from BackerKit with your tracking number, so you can know exactly when your package will arrive.
The digital cookbook will be emailed this week to everyone who selected this reward (and the physical items will come in the mail).
The printed cookbook will be shipped in the coming weeks. Our local printer here in Brooklyn had a technical issue with their press, but they just got it back up and running today. Oh the joys of self-printing :)
And now, some exciting news about our launch -- we were featured in Bon Appétit, OMG, this was a lifelong dream come true! Here is one of the delicious recipes you have coming to you soon!
Wondering where you can get your refills on our flours? We also inked an exclusive partnership with iconic grocer Dean & DeLuca, so you can visit any of their New York locations to pick up our new cricket protein flours and cookbook. Our products will come online soon there too, and are also sold through our website, seek-food.com.
We are hard at work getting your packages sent out to you. Here are some very unglamorous photos of that action happening....
On Monday, the flours (finally) arrived from our co-packer
On Tuesday, we packed up the first batch of rewards to send out
....and some more beautiful shots of The Cricket Cookbook and our new line of flours!

All of our newly launched items, coming soon to you

We absolutely cannot wait for you to receive our cricket protein flours and to get cooking with crickets. The Cricket Cookbook provides dozens of great recipes to get you off the ground, but we want to hear about your original cricket creations too. Will you keep us posted over email, social media, pigeon carrier or whatever your chosen form of communication is? We will be sharing everyone's recipes with our community, so let's get this party started! We are so grateful to have received backers from across the country and world, so let's all unite over this delicious, nutritious and sustainable food.
Keep on seeking!

These may not look like glamorous photos to you, but we couldn't help but share our new pouches - we love them and know you will too! We definitely got a lesson or two in what making eco-friendly stand up pouches is all about. The flours will arrive in our facility next week and we will start shipping them out the week of October 15th - woo hoo!
Step 1: Our design is printed on 100% recyclable material
Step 2: The large roll then gets shaped into these cute pouches
Are you ready to get our new cricket protein flours and cookbook? In order to receive your rewards, you need to fill out our BackerKit survey so we know where to send them to. You should have received a reminder email today, and if you didn't you can click here to recovery your survey.
You all rock and we can't wait to hear what cricket creations you come up with!

To our amazing Kickstarter backers,
We wanted to get back to you with some fun photos from our recent cookbook shoot and an update on the timing!
With our amazing creative team, Ghazalle Badiozamani and Erika Joyce, we completed our cookbook shoot where we shot 25 beautiful photos to make the recipes in the cookbook look even more delicious.

As for the timing, the plan is to ship out all the rewards in the beginning of October. We had hoped to ship everything this month, but at Seek we put quality first, so we had to put in some extra time to make sure you are getting the best products possible!
To ensure everyone who pledges receives their order, please remember to answer the BackerKit survey. If you haven't filled this out already, could you please complete it asap so we know where to ship your reward to? You can click here to recovery your survey if you lost the link.
If you have any questions at all, please just give us a shout!
