We acquired and inte- grated two on-trend, high-growth brands and completed an initial public offering in the Canadian market on our path to building a global personal care compa- ny," said Marc Anthony Venere, "with our incredible 36 percent year-over-year growth in 2018 underscoring the robust consumer and retailer demand for our brands." Marc Anthony began his career in the salon. Recognizing a void in the mar- ket for products that met the unique needs of each client, he was among the first to offer affordable, professional- quality products tailored to consumers' specific styling needs (curls, volume, smooth hair, etc.) and to make them eas- ily accessible at food, drug, mass and specialty beauty retailers worldwide. With the launch of Marc Anthony True Professional over 20 years ago, Marc Anthony became known as a hair author- ity, featured regularly in editorials and on national television. With Marc Anthony at the heart of his own line, it only seemed fitting to add founder-focused brands to the MAV Beauty Brands portfolio. He acquired Cake Beauty in February 2018 with plans to globally expand the iconic Canadian personal care brand. Influenced by its founder, Heather Reier, Cake Beauty grew MAV (Cont'd. from p. 1) to cult success status within the millennial demographic thanks to creative packaging and consumer-loved scents, while still maintaining an affordable price point, nat- ural ingredients and its 100 percent vegan, cruelty-free stance on products. Renpure, acquired in March 2018, offers botanical hair and body care at an affordable price. With the growing con- sumer quest for highly effective, healthy beauty driving its innovation, Renpure is outpacing many of its competitors with an incredible 21 percent growth (Source: Nielsen AOD, BC Super Category: Haircare, Total US, 2018) in 2018. The original naturally-inspired ideology remains at the core of Renpure as a key ingredient to its success, which stems from the focus on plant-based ingredients without compromising performance or affordability. MAV Beauty Brands now offers a competitive advantage as a multi-nation- al portfolio of hair and personal care products that has proven significant growth. The entrepreneurial nature of the brands permits the early adoption of key market trends and the agility to produce rapid innovation, all of which will con- tinue to excite consumers on a global scale. With founder-focused heritage and innovative products at the core of MAV Beauty Brands, Marc Anthony continues to pioneer the beauty category. Learn more at www.mavbeautybrands.com. The Story Behind Great River Organic Milling and Bake Great! On Great River Organic Milling ® pack- aging, you may notice the blue heron, or a bird native to the Mississippi River region, which just so happens to be where Great River Milling's (GROM) facility is headquartered. The great adventure of the GROM blue heron start- ed in 1975, in what is known as the heart of the Hiawatha River Valley. Not only is the blue heron native to the GROM head- quarters region, but stands tall as a sym- bolic reminder of the company's commit- ment to providing great organic products. A Bit of History GROM started operations on a small- scale fulfillment basis, providing local co-op's and grocery stores with many types of stone ground flours, pancake mixes and whole grain cereals. It wasn't until 2004 that Rick Halverson saw a vision for Great River Organic Milling to take flight within the industry. Halverson believes in building strong relationships with people from all over the world while maintaining the value of great products. As relationships have grown, so have the scale of operations to fulfill the needs of the local grocery store to some of the nation's largest retailers. Whether you need a couple hundred pounds of flour for your bakery, or a couple thousand pounds of flour for your cereal processing facility, GROM is committed to helping you. Commitment to Bake Great! ® The Bake Great! slogan combines the company's name and its desire for those who buy GROM products to produce baked goods that are great because they are organic, but also great in flavor and nutrition. The GROM team has worked diligently to obtain and maintain various certifica- tions. These include non-GMO certifica- tion, kosher approved, Quality Assurance International organic certification, along with food safety certifications from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, the Federal Drug Administration and American Institute of Baking. In addition to these certifications, it is also audited by customers upon request, gaining confi- dence from some of the largest retailers and manufacturers in the country. New at Great River Milling The company is excited to announce a new line of products for its customers, produced with the same care and com- mitment as its other products. From ama- ranth to quinoa, whole grain, to flakes and flours. Packing of these new prod- ucts can be found in smaller quantities, offering more variety.

Local Foods from Swiss Villa Local foods promote sustainable agricul- ture, and bringing small-family-farmed, nutrient-dense organic food into a food hub for regional distribution into health food stores has brought the "villa" into view. Swiss Villa brings authentic, real food for consumers involved in eating well. Local. Raw. Sustainable. Small farmed. Chemical free. Glass bottled raw milk sales only occur to in-state customers. However, the company's truly raw milk cheeses (more than 50 selections from cows, goats, sheep and water buffalo) can be sold inter-state. Swiss Villa offers cultured butter from 100 percent grass fed cows. Also consider the grass-fed Lancaster Local organic cream line of whole milk and yogurt. Local Grade A goat milk from Liberty View Creamery and an all-natural yogurt from September Farms bring more selection to the dairy line. Swiss Villa carries the Pequea Valley Farm yogurt as well. Its raw kombucha line includes elderberry, black currant, turmeric and ginger. Nine other flavors boast of the raw kombucha benefits, such as raspber- ry and strawberry. But then too, note the raw fermented red beets. It doesn't stop there! Red and green sauerkraut, kimchi, onions and gin- ger carrots offer color and easier nutrient assimilation items to your cooler shelf. Fermented bread and butter pickles come alive with flavor, and real food includes fermented pickles, garlic and horserad- ish. Veggies are grown locally and hand- crafted in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Swiss Villa presents these goods to stores throughout Pennsylvania, Maryland, DC, Delaware, New Jersey and New York. Grass-fed beef, pasture-raised pork, organic chicken and turkey along with wild Alaskan caught salmon currently comprise the company's meat offerings. It offers numerous organ meats and beef marrow bones for extra nutrient supply. It seeks meat sources with chemical free farming and humane treatment for the animals, but it also works with small businesses for pro- viding these goods. Swiss Villa Eggs are from grass-fed hens. These chickens have more than just outside access; they live outdoors daily as they wish to. Overnight shelter pro- vides security from predators. Alderfer's Poultry Farm grades and packs these eggs. Swiss Villa relates with assisting Alderfer's in marketing its cage-free and organic eggs. Sylvia's Bakery produces spelt flour breads, cookies, rolls and more. The homemade deliciousness oozes from the Pennsylvania shoofly pies. But the goodness extends beyond into the pumpkin pies, pecan pies, old fashioned sweet potato pies and coconut custard cream pies. Fall sea- son calls for stocking the pumpkin rolls made with spelt flour. Swiss Villa has included raw honey from local Pennsylvania sources. It has numerous flower-specific local honeys such as black locust honey, basswood honey and knotweed honey. Chunk honey includes pieces of the comb in the jar with the honey. You can also opt for the comb alone in a retail 10-12 ounce package. It also offers the Stockin's raw honey. Oak View Acres produces a nice line of shelf stable apple sauce, and it even offers organic apple butter and organic sauerkraut. Other selections include seven day pickles, pepper relish, stuffed peppers and chow chow.
