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!!!

  1. Hello Catherine
    I wanted to stop by and up date you on the foreclosure of the historic Crosby Mint farm with all of our cards still up in the air we are still in operation!
    Our court date December 8th was a big one for us that day there was several motions by the creditor to take the rest of the farm equipment and mint oil in attempts to shut us down and to stop the sales of mint oil. I freely admit I was very nervous, you see for the past 18 months the creditor had always won in federal court they had beat us up pretty bad so we had no idea what was going to happen.
    This is where the power of prayer came in from all over the country and the judge favored us in keeping the farm in operation for the time being. How long do we have I don’t know.
    As you may know already we were able to catch up on the flood orders that have came in and shipped them out in time for Christmas.
    The response from your listener for mint orders to prayers helped sooo very much.(Thank-you).
    To let you know about the power of prayer I truly believe it worked on the judge favoring us.
    When court was over the room was filled full people and I was still setting at the defendant’s table doing everything possible to maintain my composure.The flood of emotions which all came at the same time,I didn’t know whether laugh or cry both,so I moved slow so people would file out and right at the same time I went for the door there he was the liquidator still maintaining my composer we just stared at each other and the darkness in his eyes and the meanness is indescribably, what has happened in this mans life to make him this way? I know we just need to keep moving forward away from this person.
    Thank you all for what you have done.

    Expect Miracles
    My best

    Peppermint Jim
