mint farm

This update on Crosby Mint Farm just in:

Peppermint Jim Crosby here,

I just found you folks (on the Internet) and wanted to personally thank you from my heart for your support. We are working everyday to get orders out to everyone across the country. We are still not out of the woods — we need continued support. These folks we are dealing with do not negotiate. They enjoy their jobs and warned us that if we fight them it will cost tens of thousands of dollars. Our last meeting with these guys, they made two statements: why don’t we want to foreclose and this would be a victory for them (“them” meaning the attorney and the senior risk officer). My sister and I could use prayers, thoughts of goodness and all positive energy.

Thank you again. I will be forever grateful.

My very best to all,

Peppermint Jim Crosby

Mortgage Foreclosure – The Family Farm

YouTube Video

The company foreclosing is GreenStone Farm Credit Services.

As some of you may have read or heard, Crosby Mint Farm (St. Johns, Michigan) is under foreclosure. Because of the farm’s 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 message on.

Pass this on to your networks…

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 NOVEMBER 1ST!!!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

Note: Someone just posted this on one of our financial permaculture posts. Give Mint and Spearmint Oil for the Holidays: I just got 19 drams of mint and spearmint oil. Guess what my family is getting for Christmas?

  1. CATHRINE, I JUST WROTE A COMMENT, WAS ALMOST FINISHED AND IT DISAPPEARED. I AM GOING TO WRITE
    THE GARDEN REBEL ABOUT CROSBY MINT FARM. HE HAS A WEEKLY RADIO PROGRAM ON WDBO 580AM FROM ORLANDO FLORIDA EVERY SAT. AND SUNDAY. HE MENTIONS MINT ON A REGULAR BASIS FOR NATURAL USE IN GARDENS.
    HIS WEBSITE IS: http://www.gardenrebel.com OR HE CAN BE CONTACTED THRU THE RADIO STATION 1 800 329-5858
    I FELL HE WOULD LIKE VERY MUCH TO TALK WITH THE CROSBY’S AND POSSIBLY HAVE THEM ON HIS RADIO PROGRAM. HE HAS A REALLY BIG NATIONAL FOLLOWING. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO. CHEERS

  3. I am the Interim State Coordinator/Ohio for the Campaign for Liberty. I just found out about the farm so I posted an announcement to all state coordinators at the Campaign for Liberty to send notices out to all their state membership. I also sent an email out to all the Ohio members of CFL numbering over 3000 people. My own network also includes the Ohio Weston A. Price Foundation and I sent an email out to that group. I have placed my order for 6 bottles and I know that the product will be a good one. I use a lot of herbs daily and look forward to using the peppermint essential oil. The farm needs to align with David Blume who is a permaculturist and leads the alcohol for gas movement. Your stills might be able to do double duty by making alcohol for gas and getting the tax credit from the IRS for providing ethanol. I don’t know how your stills are set up but it is worth a thought. We need to stop the foreclosures on family farms. The prayers are working. My son mentioned that he heard Catherine on Coast to Coast last night which prompted me to go to the website and read the blog. Thank you for getting the word out and giving me the opportunity to lend some assistance. Maryanne

  4. Dear Jim, in our group morning meditation, linked across the USA, we will pray for your family farm to remain intact and that the foreclosure harassment stop. In the meantime, on our website (many readers – http://www.nightlightnews.com) and at the Human Rights Fair this Saturday, here in Santa Cruz, California, we will let people know about your situation. Our group will be ordering your oil and and readers on my website will also. We send prayers, hope and love, Risa & the Esoteric Group

  5. Jim:

    I just finished giving my first shipment away to friends, neighbors and the Solari team. It is SO wonderful!

    I am ordering more today.

    Thanks!

  6. Hello Folks
    I just wanted to give a little update the GREEN STONE farm credit Has filed a motion for complete liquidation and does not want us to continue selling. The court date is December 8th, 29th circuit court Clinton county in the city of St johns Michigan.
    The amount of paper work they throw at you is amazing, as our attorney told us today is to keep working and selling they are attempting to stall us.
    The bank was waiting for things to quiet down so they are not watched so closely.
    Could I please ask for anyone to please prey for these guys to have a heart and to have the judge favor us and the clarity to see so we can continue to sell.
    We will have another email campaign going out shortly ,for the next week 1/2 we will be shipping everyday to catch up completely and I will be working on bottling and shipping right up to 12 midnight on Christmas eve so orders will continue to go out.
    I need to mention the group of folks that are helping us in between there busy schedule we are so blessed to people that truly care.
    I would also mention Elianne and Catherine The day I read your kind words, I need you to know those words came at a good time when I needed some goodness.

    I will keep you posted

    To all my very Best

    Peppermint Jim Crosby
