From Kickstarter Success to Our First Production Run

Froggy Forts began as a community-backed project on Kickstarter. Hundreds of early supporters helped bring the idea of habitat-first frog conservation into reality, validating both the mission and the product direction.

That Kickstarter campaign has now successfully concluded.

We are currently in the next phase: direct presales through the Froggy Forts website for our first consumer production run.

This page explains what that means, clearly and simply.

What Happened on Kickstarter

Kickstarter was used to fund early development, prototyping, testing, and manufacturing preparation.

Those early backers:

  • Helped validate demand
  • Took the earliest risk
  • Received our lowest pricing as a thank-you for their support

That chapter is complete, and we’re now focused on moving responsibly into production and delivery.

What This Presale Represents

Products available on our website today are offered as preorders for an upcoming production run.

Website presales support:

  • Final manufacturing preparation
  • Tooling and production setup
  • Improved production efficiency and availability
  • Continued development of accessories and habitat innovations

When you preorder, you are reserving a unit from our first production run, not purchasing from existing inventory.

How This Presale Fits into the Journey

Early supporters on Kickstarter helped Froggy Forts move from concept to reality. They stepped in at the earliest stage and received our lowest pricing as a thank-you for that support. Current presale pricing is below future retail pricing and reflects participation in our first production run.

Now that the project has moved into manufacturing preparation and production planning, Froggy Forts is offered through standard website presales.

As certainty increases and production becomes more concrete, pricing reflects the real costs of building, delivering, and sustaining the product long-term.

This presale represents the next stage of bringing Froggy Forts into the world.

What Hasn’t Changed

While the sales channel has changed, the foundation has not.

What remains the same:

  • Our mission to support native frogs and backyard conservation
  • Habitat-first design focused on food, water, and shelter
  • A commitment to responsible production and transparency
  • Products designed to work with nature, not control it

Every Froggy Fort is still built to support real frog behavior in real backyard conditions.

Delivery & Communication

All current Froggy Fort models are available for preorder.

  • Expected delivery: Spring 2026
  • Updates will be shared as production milestones are reached
  • Customer support remains available throughout the presale period

We believe clear communication is part of responsible conservation work.

Thank You for Being Here

Whether you supported Froggy Forts on Kickstarter or are discovering the project now, your interest helps make small, local habitat restoration possible.

This presale represents the beginning of Froggy Forts as a long-term product platform - one designed to grow carefully, deliver responsibly, and restore habitat one backyard at a time.
