(LANSING STATE JOURNAL), August 23, 2008
ST. JOHNS - The healing prowess of peppermint oil might do a little more than cure throbbing migraines and arthritis.

Linette Crosby, co-owner of the Crosby Mint Farm in St. Johns, said she hopes an upswing in sales over the next year can erase the debt that left the farm she and her brother own in the hands of an agricultural lending agency after a foreclosure auction Aug. 14. "We have enough inventory (to sell and pay off our debt)," said Crosby, 50, who co-owns the farm with her brother, "Peppermint" Jim. "We're not asking for handouts. We want to sell our products."

East Lansing-based Greenstone Farm Credit Services, the only bidder, purchased the 140-acre farm for $300,000 during the auction at the Clinton County Courthouse. Now, Linette Crosby and Jim Crosby have 12 months to eliminate their $635,000 debt. Linette Crosby said the time will be used to revamp the farm and its grass, a source of biofuel, with the aid of Craig Limpach, a biologist and landscape architect for Genius Loci Inc., an Elyria, Ohio-based land restoration company. Limpach already has drafted blueprints for the possible alterations, Linette Crosby said.

The history of the farm has deep local roots. In 1912, J.E. Crosby Sr. founded the farm on 2 acres, and it has become one of the oldest continuously operating mint farms in the country. By selling an array of goods besides peppermint and spearmint oil, the owners said they are widening their consumer base and diversifying. Jim Crosby said one of his main goals is to sell products that showcase mint's various medical and therapeutic properties. "I've been trying to help people be more sustainable through using our product," he said. With nearly 100 years of family history surrounding the farm, Crosby said a piece of him is sold with each bottle. "Every bottle we ship out has my hopes, dreams and prayers," he said. "This is not just a farm; this place has the ability to heal hearts and minds."

Scott Curtis, 55, of St. Johns, works at the farm. "I was aware of the farm and its economic difficulties. My intention is to help out and lend support," Curtis said. Curtis said the farm's rich tradition alone makes it indispensable to the community.

With thousands of Michigan residents falling victim to foreclosure each year, Linette Crosby said she believes the farm can serve as the poster child that boosts awareness of the devastating crisis. "We're looking to put a light on the foreclosure issue," she said. "This is going to be our opportunity and not theirs."
