First Saturday Lime provides a monthly all natural pest repellent which is applied to the perimeter of your home on the 1st Saturday of every month!

Our Story.
We are 3rd (and 4th) generation farmers.  We work with several types of lime.  Our lime has always been used for farming.  When more and more people inquired into purchasing lime for their yards, we decided we needed a better way to deliver it.  Around the same time, the internet provided studies suggesting lime was used as a pest repellent in gardens, as well as a sanitizing agent in animal housing.
We know that some lime (hydrated lime, calcium oxide, calcium hydroxide) can burn skin, and some lime (dolomitic, straight out of the quarry) isn’t very strong.  We knew we needed an answer to this.  We came up with a formulated version of hydrated lime, which is just as strong but safer.  It lacks the caustic nature of hydrated lime, while also containing virtually no silica as in dolomitic lime.
We purchased 1000 bags and slapped a label on them and proceeded to sell out quicker than we ever expected.  Then we knew if we wanted to take the jump into retail, we would need to go in with both feet.  With the passing of our father, we knew if we didn’t do it now, it probably wouldn’t happen.  So… here we are.  Excited. Overwhelmed with positive responses.  Surrounded by enthusiastic people who share common goals.
We wake up excited for each and every day that brings new challenges, fun challenges and rewarding challenges.
So, why a frog you ask?… Frogs eat insects.  They are inherently a natural pest controller.  It also helps that they are “lime” green.  And as coincidence would have it, a little frog would come visit us every day while we were toiling in the barn.  He is our mascot.  His name is Ricardo.
And “First Saturday?”…  We choose the sieve size to make the product last at least one month.  Therefore, you apply the product once a month, or on the “First Saturday” of the month.
