DAVID STELZER nearly died before his fifth birthday. Wracked by severe autoimmune reactions and chronic asthma, he spent years confined to a couch while doctors offered no solutions. It was a naturopathic physician— and a radical change in diet—that saved his life, igniting his family’s multigenerational commitment to healthy soil and clean food.
In Seeds of Hope, Stelzer tells the remarkable story of how his family’s Oregon wheat farm became Azure Standard, now one of the largest organic and natural food providers in the United States. From his great-grandfather’s flight from pre-WWII Ukraine, through an IRS raid that nearly destroyed the family, to the founding of a company built on faith, grit, and uncompromising quality, this is a story of conviction tested by fire.
But Seeds of Hope is more than a business memoir. It’s an unflinching look at the forces threatening America’s food supply—from glyphosate-saturated farmland to a healthcare system that profits from keeping people sick— and a practical case for why regenerative agriculture offers a way forward.
“David’s personal story is almost as amazing as what he and his family have accomplished with Azure in the last forty years. The only thing bigger than David’s vision is his beautiful heart.”
RORY FEEK - Grammy-winning musician, author, and farmer
“Seeds of Hope is an extraordinary story of what God can do through ordinary people who seek Him. David Stelzer shares a powerful message of faith, perseverance, and the healing that comes when we choose not to compromise on our health, our land, and our food. I’ve lived this myself and have seen it in so many others. When we change the food we eat and how it’s grown, healing follows. This book is both inspiring and encouraging, reminding us that the choices we make today can change the legacy of our families for generations to come."
MELISSA K. NORRIS - homesteader, author, and host of Pioneering Today Podcast
“For the past fifteen years, I have had the privilege of witnessing firsthand how David Stelzer and his family have lived out their faith, family values, and commitment to a multigenerational family business in a way that is real, honest, and downright heroic. Seeds of Hope is a transparent and inspiring account of a family on a mission to change the world—one product, one person, one family, and one business at a time—from their small town of Dufur, Oregon.”
