Hal Neiman, C.E.O.Hal Neiman, C.E.O.

Hal Neiman is an icon and pioneer in the health food industry in America. He originally started 'Nature's Best' with Howard Pollack in the late 1960s and today it is one of the largest distribution companies in the health food industry. Later, in 1971, he founded Green Grown Products, Inc. Anyone who knows about the wonder seed that is "chia" would know that Hal Neiman is responsible for bringing chia to the United States. Hal traveled to Central and South America, searching for growers who cleaned the seeds correctly. He found growers in all parts of these continents and brought these omega seeds into the United States, Europe and Asia, hundreds of thousands of pounds at a time. In the early 1980s, Green Grown Products became the largest dealer in chia seed in the world, supplying hundreds of companies across the globe. One very notable company was the Chia Pet company. Who hasn't heard about the potted "Chia Pets"? We at Green Grown Products. hope the same number of people will know the value of these golden omega seeds.

Simultaneously dealing Chia seed in the 80's, Hal was researching to find more
"power" nutrients for anti-aging, vigor, longevity and the answer to turning back time. It led him to becoming enamored with the treasure trove of the "BEE HIVE". Through his passion and knowledge, he became the largest dealer of Bee Pollen in the United States, selling to manufacturers, distributors, and herb companies everywhere in enormous bulk amounts. Synergy, and the love of the bee powers led him to more precious "jewels" which were Royal Jelly and Propolis. Royal Jelly, the substance coming from the Queen Bee is magnificent for anti-aging and Propolis is a natural powerful anti-biotic Before the word "Superfood" was coined in recent years, Green Grown Products Inc. was promoting and selling the greatest substances of Super Foods of omegas and antioxidants on the planet. Hal was in the business before it became fashionable, when people were not listening or caring about health products. He still worked tirelessly to give to others the best products for them. After decades of dedication he is delighted to see that he helped make a difference in the world of health and well being for others.


Teri Bernardi, PresidentTeri Bernardi, President

Teri Bernardi came on board in January 2006 and shot straight to the top. She was hired to do sales and creative consulting, but within a short time, Hal Neiman knew she fit perfectly and asked her to be his business partner. Teri is revamping the company from the ground up, which suits Hal Neiman just fine. Her dynamic energy, creative ideas and people skills has breathed new life into Green Grown Products. Little by little, she seems to be "running the show" which makes the CEO quite content after thirty years. Although Hal is enjoying having some breathing time and showing Teri the ropes, he is not retiring any time soon. Teri feels fortunate too! She's always been a top sales person but is loving all the new challenges in management and the health industry. Hal and Teri are a great team that works! She too shares Hal's belief in the Bee Power and Omega Chia Seeds, she uses it for her own super nutrition. Although, her "new" baby is the Zero Carb Super Foods that she personally brought to Green Grown Products, that will revolutionize GGP's growth and sales. Between all her other duties, Teri is spearheading the promotion of all GGP'S Royal Bee Power Products, Organically Kosher Chia Seed, and of course the Zero Carb Line. She believes Super Foods have unlimited benefits for our minds, bodies and spirits.
