Help Save a Michigan Family Farm!

Support the nation's oldest producing mint farm! Crosby Farm in St. John, Michigan has been family owned and operated since 1912 and it is in danger of being foreclosed upon if they don't sell over 70,000 drams of mint oil by this Saturday, November 1. They have enough inventory to pay their debt. Here's a link to their web site, www.getmint.com. A dram of mint oil is $5.00 and every purchase will help them to reach their goal and save their family farm. There's also a 3 minute video on You Tube which I would encourage you to watch to learn more about their situation.

"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.

Peppermint and spearmint oil is known to relieve headaches, migraines, arthritis, hot flashes, sore muscles, swollen joints, symptoms due to cold and flu, poison ivy, cuts. It is also known to increase energy, focus, and decrease frustration. There are more specific instructions for use under "Mint Uses" at www.getmint.com
