off-topic but important: help save a mint farm

October 28, 2008

Hello all!

Please forgive an off-topic post, but this is in my home state and my

heart goes out to this family. Mint oil is mcdougall legal and

vegan.

This farm desperately needs to sell 72,000 drams of oil between now

and Saturday to keep their farm. The bank is treating them unfairly

(there's a youtube video on the site) and is hoping they go down

because they aren't one of the " big boys " --soy or corn. If you can

spare some change and buy some wonderful peppermint or spearmint oil,

please consider doing so. It's great in coffee or water, wonderful

to rub on temples to prevent a headache, antidepressant in

aromatherapy, etc. It's great stuff.

Please consider helping!

Cheers,

Julie

HELP A FARMER IN NEED AND PRESERVE A PIECE OF HISTORY

As some of you may have read or heard, Crosby Mint Farm (St. Johns,

MI) is under foreclosure. Because of the historic significance and

the desire to continue producing this wonderful essential oil, your

help is needed. Please tell your friends and ask them to pass this on.

These farmers have been a mainstay of Clinton County and Friends

Forever! Please help if you possibly can. $5 for a dram of pure

peppermint or spearmint oil, and there’s free shipping!

" In addition to having what appears to be the oldest surviving still

in the country, the Crosby Farms operation also appears to be the

oldest mint farm in continuous operation in the United States. The

key word here is " continuous " --- that it has cultivated and

processed mint since J.E. Crosby purchased the property before World

War I. "

Ephraim K. Smith, President; Heritage Productions, Inc.

Currently, there is enough essential oil inventory to pay this debt.

On November 1st the bank has the right to inventory AND equipment AND

then on August 14, 2009 they can take over the property. 77,000 DRAM

BOTTLES MUST BE SOLD BY NOV. 1ST!!!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!=
