"While committed to this country's old-world values and cooking methods, we are very excited to be a part of the public capital markets," stated David C. Skinner, Sr., CEO of Amish Naturals. "We saw this as a logical step to expand our brand awareness and eventually make Amish Naturals a household name. We will be working very hard over the coming months to secure shelf space for our products in natural food stores -- and eventually the mass-market, retail grocery chains -- and look forward to the continual rollout of new, complementary products.
"We have tested our pasta with consumers, and the response was phenomenal. In addition, our management and advisors, with years of experience in the food distribution and branding industries, have significant inroads to the retail channel. We have taken the time to develop the requisite corporate strategies to grow this company in a meaningful way."
