| Jim & I started farming, by "going back to
the land" in the mid 1970's. We had milk cows, chickens,
pigs, sheep, honey bees, leafcutter bees, a big garden and a
small saw mill. One of the main crops we grew on our small
organic farm was alfalfa seed. Over half of our farm is
still original forest. Fifteen years later we had two
small children, a flock of sheep (200 ewes) and a side line
business selling our organic alfalfa and radish seed for
sprouting. The coyotes helped us decide to get out of sheep
by killing 60 one summer, despite our best efforts.
Our sprouting seed business kept growing and growing :-)
and by the mid 1990's it was more work than we could handle,
so we took the big step of hiring help. About 7 years ago we
moved our sprouting seeds and office from the farm to an old
curling rink in the nearby town of Parkside. Now it's still
more work than we can handle, but we have a great crew
helping us.
It's been interesting getting to this point with our
business. Jim has been our website guy. I've enjoyed
working on package designs. It's fun going to work. Every
day something interesting and unexpected happens.
Our organic certifier, OCIA International, has been a
good organization to belong to. We've been very lucky to
have great people working for us. We have also had the
good fortune of being able to source our sprouting seeds
from organic farmers who tend to be open minded,
innovative, and fun to know.
