Big Changes

Woops - I seem to have neglected this blog for awhile!  Some of that time I was in Ireland - a bit like returning to the technological dark ages.  I was visiting my large extended family and particularly my father Mike Evans, the gardening patriarch; he will be 97 years old this month.  Grandpa Mike is slowing down and only manages to garden a couple of hours each day.  He complains that the Bountea makes everything grow so fast that he can never keep up. (see more pictures of Ireland on Rocky Mountain Living)

Part of the reasons for the trip was discussions with a Dutch distributor of compost tea systems who will be carrying Bountea products in Europe.  That will hopefully happen before the end of the year.  Every few days we get requests from Ireland, Sweden, Portugal and even Turkey for our products.  It will be satisfying to be able to provide what people want and need.

At the beginning of June, Organic Bountea moved to a bigger and better warehouse and facilities near Sebastopol in California.  It is beautiful wine country with just the kind of environment we were looking for: quiet and peaceful but close enough to main trucking routes.  We are settling in and working hard to get production back up to speed. 

As Lao Tzu possibly said: "Moving is natural, stagnation is sickness."
