Amish Naturals Signs Sales & Marketing Agreement With Acosta's National/Speciality Sales.


North America's Leading Sales and Marketing Agency To Market the Company's Organic, Amish-Produced Line to Major Retailers

HOLMESVILLE, Ohio -- Amish Naturals, Inc. (OTCBB:AMNT) announced today that it has entered into an agreement with the Natural/Specialty Sales, LLC division of Acosta Sales and Marketing to market and sell the Company's premium, all organic, Amish-produced food line to specialty stores and major food retailers.

Headquartered in Jacksonville, Fla., and with offices in every major city in the U.S. and Canada, Acosta currently serves more than 1,300 consumer packaged goods companies, and represents more number one and number two brands than any other sales agency in North America.

The Company will be working with Acosta's Natural/Specialty Sales, LLC division, founded exclusively to serve manufacturers of natural, organic, gourmet and ethnic foods. Through this division, Acosta calls on both natural food stores and the growing number of national supermarket chains that feature natural/specialty food aisles.

"That Acosta has agreed to represent our brand speaks volumes about our concept and quality," said Amish Naturals CEO, David Skinner, Sr. "Acosta represents nearly one quarter of all the inventory in store warehouses in this country through its representation of numerous category-leading brands. That's great company to keep."

"Acosta has 11,000 associates in North America, has deep industry relationships at the headquarters level and significant presence at store level. These strengths are vital to our introduction," said Don Alarie, Amish Naturals Vice President of Sales & Marketing. "Representation by the industry leader bodes well for a strong launch and our goal to achieve rapid growth."

"Amish Naturals is a great fit in the premium portfolio we're building through our natural and specialty sales unit," said John Caruso, National Senior Vice President Client Services, Natural/Specialty Sales. "As organics continue to grow rapidly, we're looking for next generation brands like Amish Naturals that deliver on all key counts - taste, quality and authenticity - and that should resonate at the trade and consumer levels."
