I would like to say a couple of words about my beloved self. When Russia decided to build an open economy in the late XX century, without regret it freed a perspective hydrogeologist, who by that time almost finished writing his thesis and was building a young family of his own despite all rules of survival. After being sad, but not too much, and for not too long, and most importantly having felt the taste of freedom, I defined my reality as inability to return to government institutions for work, where decision-making was based on everything, except for objective expediency, and what mattered the most, didn’t depend on my opinion. The same goes out to commercial structures where I’m not a shareholder with the defining voice. A couple of attempts to refute this axiom only confirmed the selection of youth. Without being too thoughtful towars choosing business profiles, but always attempting personal preferences with economic efficiency, I grew several successful businesses with earning an international title of a «Serial entrepreneur». With time, I have gained the ability to choose to do businesses that were close to my heart or those that provoked me to be stronger. For example, I never thought that I’d be doing agriculture, although one of my grandmothers was a farmer and I was born on a warm sunny day in a picturesque village. But a little less than ten years ago, several farmers attended my seminar on business development, and after that… I got into a whirlind in Russia, working between Canada and Russia… It wasn’t long ago that I have exited those projects, and thought that it would be a long time before I revisit the field. But an old friend of mine, during a Fall Sunday lunch of last year, presented me with wild Siberian buckthorn berries. Why that present? I pondered: what am I going to do with them: eat with honey, make jam, make juice, add to vodka or…?
