Executive Management Team
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, 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.
