Dear concerned customer, At this time, as I’m sure your aware there is trouble in the cricket industry. Also at this time it is public knowledge that Top Hat has fallen victim to what we believe is the cricket paralysis virus (CPV). We have attempted several experiments to help us better understand what policies we need to enact in order to defeat this virus. We have already cleaned our facility top to bottom and sanitized every surface in several ways. We believe that our methods have weakened the virus substantially but not enough to warrant a stable environment for production. This being said we are leaning heavily on the results of a few more tests to point us in our next direction. The direction we take could potentially send us into a longer period of shut down time where we will clean our facility and everything in it for a second time and then taking advantage of our Michigan winter let everything freeze to weaken the virus even more. I would like to reassure you that we are NOT going to give up. We have had too many years of success at Top Hat to allow this virus to defeat us this easy. We appreciate all of your business through the years and your concern during this disaster. We are doing everything in our power to get back up and running and look forward to providing you with the clean and healthy crickets that you are used to seeing from Top Hat. If you have individual concerns you can still reach us in our office or via e-mail at bob@tophatcrickets.com Please continue to monitor our progress from our website www.tophatcrickets.com Thanks again for your concern,
Dave Eldred President/CEO Top Hat Cricket Farm INC. 1919 Forest Dr. Portage, MI 49002 |
