Our Mill
Mike Persons (Nickname Spike), purchased the mill in 1997, producing custom horse feed and bird feed mixes. In 2006 he brought in one of the owners from Gertens, Gino Pitera to help grow the company JRK Seed. They opened up the store in Delano, MN in 2010.
​
FUN FACT: "JRK" stands for John Rogers Kent, who was the original founder of JRK. Gino Pitera, Co-Owner of GFOB, recalls, "When we bought JRK Seed and re-designed the bag, we wanted to add a bit of history to the brand. We added 'Gro-Formula 1622' in memory of Isidore the Farmer of Madrid, Spain (c.1070 - 1130) who was canonized in the year 1622 as the patron saint of farming. Our nod to this revered farmer in history is a subtle reminder of the virtue of ordinary life and the dignity of hard work."
