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."
