Testimonials

Gary Hirshberg, Stonyfield Farm Yogurt, President/CEO/Chairman

"The single greatest cost that any entrepreneur incurs is the “Learning Curve”.  It can make you, break you, or sentence you to a slow, tortuous death.  Bob’s and Rick’s Natural Products Field Manual will absolutely cut this cost in half, if not eliminate it altogether.  I only wish I’d had a copy 19, or even 2, years ago." 

"If the Natural Products Field Manual doesn’t save your firm tens of thousands of dollars, or garner you many more thousands in revenues, then save yourself the trouble and close your business.  The problem lies with you, not the authors. This compendium is an invaluable gem."

 -- Gary Hirshberg, March 19, 2002
