The proprietors here at BiOmega3, LLC are Bill and Kim O'Connell.
Descended from Montana Hi-Line homesteader stock, we're carrying
on the tradition of developing new agricultural opportunities.

In spite of the title of this page, though, this
isn't just "about us".
Healthy diet goes far beyond that, it's
of benefit to EVERYONE. You talk about a win/win...!!
In our case, most fortunately my wife Kim is a
fantastically good cook. In fact we'll be adding a "Gallatin
Gourmet" section to this site down the road. Luckily
she grew up eating venison, which we got by on quite nicely
in the early years of our marriage, until I learned how to get
an elk every year. And then we started eating buffalo...
We used to farm up on the Hi-Line, not too far
east of Glacier Park. Although we were semi-nomadic, and wintered
here in the "Valley of the Flowers", running
a wild game processing operation which later morphed into a
bison skinning/robe/skull emporium, amongst booking agencies,
web design, and sundry other ventures. Old habits die hard though,
and against all odds, we now find ourselves farming again in
the Bozone.

Oddly enough, in both cases we're farming ground
that doesn't particularly lend itself to the mass-production
industrial ag model. So we've always explored alternatives.

A few years back, when we started raising golden
flax and camelina, and regularly consuming these high Omega-3
products, as well as healthy, locally produced foods (as much
as possible, from our fellow Farmer's Market vendors!), not
exactly quite "all of a sudden" we found our tastes
had changed.
It's true, once you get used to eating healthy,
there's no going back. Before long you can tell, almost instantly
whether food has nutrition in it, or whether it's just "empty"
calories.
Far beyond that, your body starts to demand this
newfound healthy diet! And it's not just humans... Some of our
steadiest customers give these Omega-3 supplements to their
pets, and one interesting story lately was from a gal whose
Jack Russell terrier now refuses to eat dog food without camelina
oil on it!
I don't eat dog food, far from it, but otherwise
I'm about there myself...
Times
are changing in agriculture. The locally produced, healthy food
model is taking hold in a big way. Not only is this of immense
benefit to consumers, but for a change it holds promise for
producers also.
Direct marketing to consumers, and wholesaling to health-oriented
retailers, eliminating giant agribusiness conglomerates in the
process...
What's not to like?! And besides, it's just not dull at all... |
