WHY IS THE PURPLE MOSS SOLD OUT FREQUENTLY? WE HAVE A STRONG CUSTOMER BASE AND IT GENERALLY SELLS OUT VERY QUICKLY ONCE IN STOCK. WE HAVE TO WORK WITH MAMA SEA, SO WHEN SHE DOESN'T ALLOW US TO DIVE THEN THERE ARE SOMETIMES DELAYS WHILE SHE REPLENISHES HERSELF OF WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY HARVESTED. THIS IS THE CYCLE OF NATURE. WE ALSO TAKE OUR TIME TO PROPERLY PRESERVE IT VIA SUN AND MOONLIGHT TO ENSURE THE PHYTO-NUTRIENTS ARE LOCKED IN PROPERLY. OUR FIRST RESPONSIBILITY IS TO HONOR AND RESPECT MAMA SEA AND NATURE IN GENERAL FOR PROVIDING US WITH THIS GIFT. SO THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR BEING PATIENT AS WE HARVEST.
