76-Year-Old Farmer Creates New Breakfast Cereal

76-Year-Old Farmer Creates New Breakfast Cereal FARM HOME Food 24-5-22 Oliver Christensen is a 76-year-old man with a mission. He hates wimpy breakfast cereals that melt in your mouth, so he created a new cereal that sticks to your ribs. "Oliver's Good Breakfast" is made of all organically grown ingredients purchased through a wholesaler. It includes wheat, rye, oats, millet, sesame, buckwheat, flax, and sunflowers."I worked on it or five years before I came up with this recipe. It was just a matter of taste and what I thought would be a good mix. The wheat, rye, oats, and buckwheat give the bulk. The sesame seed and the flax are more of a laxative grain." No sugar, salt, or preservatives are added. "One thing about my cereal is that you have to chew it." Christensen eats it both hot and cold. "I've just got a 3/4-in. roller mill and it's a slow process. I do about 20 to 30 lbs. at a time. Hopefully I will be able to enlarge my facility in the near future and be able to market my product to a wider audience," he says. Oliver's Good Breakfast is sold in 2-lb. bags. It sells for $6.00 (Canadian) for 2 lbs. "It's a very good buy food value wise," says Christensen."People say they can't live without my cereal once they've tried it and that's why I'm waiting to get my own facility."
