Hallo Jim,
thank you for your nice and interesting thank you!
It has been a pleasure to support you from Germany.

But do not think we Europeans are knowing so much more about your aronia.
Only very few really interested people know aronia and their products at 
Europe.
Even, it is already inside many different food stuffs.

Ciao
Hans
