A Simple Farm- Kristin Reynolds and Vincent Giesmam - Family Homestead and Business.
This week on “Here, In My Time”, I sit down with a mother and son duo! Most would know them as “A Simple Farm”, a business that brings there homestead to you. Kristin and 13 year old Vincent graciously shared family and homestead life, as well as just some behind the scenes stories of how they run a business!
-----
Reynolds has a passion for learning new skills and putting her hands to many different hobbies. She took her desire to better everyday usage by creating her own line of home care from remedies to deodorants. With that came more knowledge and old time skills that began the business she now runs, bringing her homestead to you.
“My husband says I have hobby addd, and that fine, I just love to do everything. I think its completely fine you don’t know what moves you to do something. In the winter I will crochet, but we will also be developing teas or trying new recipes.”
Vincent Giesman, Reynold’s 13 year old son, has become her right hand man in their family business. Geisman is a spice connoisseur and has developed his own line of, what he calls, “Flippin’ Good Seasoning.” When asked why he called his brand this, he simply replied, “Because their flippin’ good!”
“Mom was into the, no offense, old lady stuff. And I'm like, this is kind of boring. I'm not into the old lady stuff as much anymore, because I just watch her and she's over there on the couch just crocheting away. And I look what she's making and there's this like 85 foot blanket. Like, whoa, when that happen? I was like, well I mean if she's doing all that on her own, I bet I can make some of mine on my own. And I start thinking and I'm like, spices. Everybody likes spices. It's needed.”
From that moment Geisman was able to not only mix and create the recipes but he designed the logo, planned finically, packaged, and advertised it all. From home grown ingredients to homegrown ingenuity, is continually bringing the next generation into homesteading through not only his line seasoning but also his love for helping with marketing.
Though there is a lot to say about Geisman’s skills on the homestead, there is something even more special about this young man, the wisdom and encouraging words spoken in this episode showcases a character of depth beyond his years.
Before I give it all away I must leave it there. This episode is very special, it is the first time I get to sit down with two guests, but not only that, this episode truly bridges the gap between generations. There is so much laughter, joy, and funny stories shared! I encourage you grab a cup of coffee, or some tea and enjoy this lovely conversation with this mother and son duo! Thank you so much Kristin and Vincent for having tea with me and allowing me to share your story! It was such an honor! I am incredibly proud of this episode!
