[Lapg] mint farm need of support

[Patricia Sullivan]

..for your consideration...  thought I'd pass it on...   love to you all,  Pat


Hello all!

This farm (which is co-owned by a woman and her brother) 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, 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!!!
