Cooperative effort of three farm families supports small town and produces the highest quality flax. 94 year old woman who works in packaging and attributes longevity to taking flax daily.

Goodrich, ND (HydroponicSearch.com) October 31, 2005 -- Three farming families unite to produce Omega Gloden Flax Seed for Flax USA. In Goodrich, North Dakota, a small town with a population of about 200 residents, Flax farming is a major industry supporting the community. The Omega 3-rich flax is produced, packaged and distributed in Goodrich and provides income to more than 25 people.

This grassroots company is truly a "Ma & Pop" business. With over 100 years of Flax farming expertise, the Stober family spans 5 generations. Son Jared, now a senior at the University of North Dakota, started working in the family business while in high school.

"I was able to put myself thru college working in the family business," said Jared. "And after I graduate, I plan to use my business degree to help expand the marketing and distribution of our product."

Originally created in South and North Dakota State Universities, the Omega Golden Flax Seed was produced to yield higher levels of Omega 3 oil, protein, and fiber. The product requires stringent growing criteria to produce the best hybrid flax seeds.

Golden Flax Seed is not genetically modified and is considered one of the richest sources of Alpha Linoleic Acid (ALA) - an Omega-3 essential fatty acid -- and fiber, lignan as well as other vitamins and minerals that is believed to help reduce cholesterol, control blood glucose levels and offers cancer fighting properties.

Triple cleaned with a proprietary process, untouched by human hands, their Flax seed packaging process assures the highest quality product and cleanliness. Vearl Hagen, 94 years young, hand labels products as they are assembled for distribution.

"I like doing the physical work," said Vearl. "Working here at Flax USA - and eating flax daily - keeps me young."

Doctors, researchers, and nutritionists have described flax seed as the "perfect whole food." Because flax seeds are able to provide the body with exactly what it needs to stave off disease and maintain optimal health, adding Flax to your diet can lower your cholesterol, help you lose weight, ease the effects of menopause, boost your immune system and beat the aches and pains associated with arthritis!

There is no wonder why Mahatma Gandhi said, "Whenever flaxseeds become a regular food item among the people, there will be BETTER health."
