<<0>> - When I was growing up we worked seven days a week.

<<3>> Didn't make any difference what day of the week it was,

<<5>> why it was a work day.

<<7>> - My first memory as a farmer as a kid were driving combine

<<10>> soon as school was out I was headed home to the farm.

<<17>> - I grew up here, so I was born on the farm.

<<20>> I grew up just in the house next door.

<<23>> When I was growing up we worked seven days a week.

<<26>> You'd go back to school in the fall and the teacher always

<<29>> wanted you to write your first paper of

<<32>> what did you do this summer?

<<33>> I didn't have to write very much, I was just like, work.

<<35>> Worked every day and that's just the way it was.

<<39>> - [Man] My dad got started farming when he was a senior in

<<41>> high school, he was renting about 150 acres and just kind of

<<45>> started farming from there, ended up going into venture

<<48>> with some peppermint.

<<55>> - The reason it's such an honor for us to work with the

<<58>> Brown family is because they take such pride

<<60>> in what they do, they love growing peppermint,

<<63>> they love harvesting peppermint.

<<65>> You look at this distillery,

<<66>> this is a state of the art distillery,

<<68>> you won't find anything like this

<<69>> anywhere else in the world.

<<72>> - Soon as the trucks start bringing in the tubs

<<75>> we just watch for when they're gonna hook 'um up and

<<78>> make sure they get the steam going.

<<80>> When the steam comes up to pressure we've got different

<<82>> buttons here to regulate the steam and it's just a lot

<<87>> of pacing back and forth in here watching 16 different

<<90>> bays and making sure it happens right.

<<93>> - This year we're harvesting 520 acres of peppermint

<<96>> and we're gonna plan on doing that in eight and a half days.

<<99>> We're cooking right now about 102 to 103 tubs a day.

<<104>> The Willamette Valley tends to have have a more oil

<<107>> that's more sought after than other places in United States

<<110>> or around the world and a lot of it just has to do with

<<112>> the climatic conditions here.

<<114>> When the plant starts to bloom the quality of the oil

<<116>> starts to change, you don't want to end up with oil that's

<<119>> not of the consistency that the consumer wants.

<<122>> Although we could get more oil by letting the plant

<<125>> get more mature, there's a certain time in there when

<<128>> we have the best quality for the maturity.

<<130>> - Because of the care they put into their fields

<<132>> in making sure they're free of weeds,

<<134>> we get the finest peppermint in the world.

<<137>> - We want to be the best in whatever it is that we're doing

<<141>> so I love it when the wellness advocates come to visit

<<145>> our mint still, it's such a emotional experience to me,

<<150>> to be able to talk about something that we are so passionate

<<154>> about, to see the impact of our efforts, of our hard work

<<159>> through the stories that are then told to us.

<<161>> I know it means a lot to them and when they share with

<<164>> others about peppermint oil, they know exactly where it

<<169>> came from and they can be even a stronger advocate

<<172>> for the use of peppermint oil.

<<175>> And you think wow, we really are making a difference.
