Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
One Year. de4life is a growing, changing company that started in the mind of Owner, Jean Wilkes. Using only her own money to fund her ideas, Jean worked independantly to develop her business plan. In 2010 she began officially doing business as de4life. Innovators are lonely people. She spent a great deal of her time explaining to friends and family what she is doing and why it's so important to her. Getting people on board for a project that essentially requires a person to change their life, their habits, and abandon old ideas. This world will take care of us, as long as we take care of it! No easy task. The good news is it's happening more and more.

How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
de4life is truly a multi-layer organization-retail sales of the products we offer provides capital for the ultimate goal of this company...to begin organic farming in San bernardino county, and provide a place where at-risk teens can learn the importance of organic farming from planting the seeds to harvesting and marketing their products. Professional farmers will be on site full time to ensure that the farm operates efficently and within the complex requirents of a 100% organic certified farm. In addition to the farming staff we will have counselors and health care staff available around the clock. Many of the people who will provide these types of services are doing so at no charge. They want to be involved. Our communities can be stronger than they are. We believe this is one way to facilitate positive change. Returning individuals to the community ready to pass on what they have learned.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We are expanding. The retail operation is primarily internet based with a few local customers. We purchased land and are in the process of fundraising to build a road to our lot. It is rather remote, near the base of the San Gabriel/Los Angelos Mountains in Pinion Hills. Fundraising is underway, so hopefully within the next 6 months we will see substantial improvements to the land.
