I’ve said it before but the best part of my job at GROW Nebraska is definitely that I get to be the story catcher! Last week I had the opportunity to visit with Alan Koelling from Simply Sunflower. I called him at his home near Ord, NE. I could practically feel the sunshine coming through the phone lines! Alan is a shining example of yet another GROW Nebraska member who is brimming with joy and passion for the work they do. I must say talking to folks like Alan is invigorating because their enthusiasm is contagious!
Alan proudly told me that he is a fourth generation farmer and rancher in an area south of Ord known as Mira Valley. I was curious enough to Google it and I can certainly understand why he is delighted to be a part of a place that has such a rich historical significance. One article even mentioned it was once explored by Lewis and Clark! One thing is for sure, the land is perfect for growing sunflowers. I can’t think of a more cheerful looking crop, can you?
Alan is also proud of how completely “Nebraska” his product is, right down to the last detail. Simply Sunflower Oil comes from sunflower seeds grown on his Nebraska farms. The seeds are then pressed to extrude the natural oil in a Nebraska plant exclusively dedicated to processing Simply Sunflower oil.
Simply Sunflower All Natural Oil is one of the healthiest cooking oils on the market. It is chemical and GMO free, and it has 41% vitamin E! Do jump on their beautiful website www.simplysunflower.com to learn so much more about the golden health benefits of their light tasting oil!
One fun aspect of their website is their weekly blog that shares farm updates, recipes, health benefits, and more interesting facts about sunflowers. Be sure to take a look at Simply Sunflower’s fascinating and sunny blog posts, I enjoy them and I know you will too!
Simply Sunflower is another success story in the sweeping movement of consumers who want to know where the food on their table is produced! Part of their success has been their decision to join GROW Nebraska in 2012. You can find Simply Sunflower All Natural Oil at the Nebraska State Fair and when you need more, you can buy another bottle (or two!) in either of GROW Nebraska’s stores, at the Hilltop Mall in Kearney or the Conestoga Mall in Grand Island! And if that’s not handy, you can jump online anytime 24/7/365 and order some today at www.buynebraska.com!
