Roll back the curtain of time to the spring of 1919 when two brothers, David and Ernest Horn, had a vision. They founded a company in agriculturally-prosperous York County, Pennsylvania with $500 in cash and a $2,000 loan. Included in the transaction was a horse-drawn wagon. Within two years they were able to buy a Model T pickup to make sales calls and deliveries to area farmers. The Horn brothers believed in treating their customer as they'd like to be treated -- always providing personalized service and quality products. By 1927 the Horns were ready to start manufacturing their own commercial poultry and livestock feed, and in 1935 they built their first complete feed manufacturing plant in York, PA.Over the years, the company flourished and grew from a small grist-type feed mill into a diversified, multi-state business. In 1985 the company acquired Ritter Food Service, a food distribution company, in the 1990s, several more strategic acquisitions were integrated into both the feed and food segments of the business. Today, Pennfield is a modern, innovative company headquartered in Lancaster, PA, and has the resources and commitment needed for continuing growth in the agricultural and food industries. This initiative will continue to be directed toward providing Pennfield customers with the finest products and service anywhere.

HAVOC Distribution, Inc. is the manufacturer and distributor of HAVOC Energy Drink. HAVOC focuses on licensing certain branding rights from U.S. athletic conferences, professional sports teams, bars/clubs and other affinity groups. HAVOC then markets it's beverage products through big box retailers, convenience stores and other retail outlets. We believe this will facilitate rapid market penetration at a cost far lower than trying to market under a unique "Havoc Energy" brand name. HAVOC is a portfolio company under the public corporation; American Enterprise Development Corporation, listed as AEND. Havoc was acquired by American Enterprise Development Corporation through a reverse merger in early 2006. Energy drinks, also known as "functional beverages" in the beverage industry, are one of the most rapidly growing beverage categories in the world. Consumers generally purchase functional beverages to provide hydration, nutritional input, energy stimulation and to contribute to the user's overall sense of well-being. The major competitors, in the energy drink market, primarily compete for brand loyalty and taste. "Havoc Energy" feels that by licensing pre-established well-known brand names of athletic teams and various professional/private organizations, along with providing a great tasting product, we will effectively capture market share.

In 1903, the Yakima Valley was already established as a premiere growing region for many fruits and vegetables, but the system of getting the crops to market was outdated. At the time, truckers traveled from farm to farm negotiating with individual farmers to set a price for their fruit. The farmers knew they needed a better system so they banded together to form the Yakima County Horticultural Union and Yakima Valley Growers Association cooperatives. These groups centralized packing, selling and distribution of the crops and opened channels for shipping to markets such as Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and beyond. In 1965 the two cooperatives merged together and took on the name Snokist Growers.Today, Snokist is still a grower-owned cooperative with more than 150 active members. Our growers range from multi-generation family farms that are steeped in tradition to young, innovative farmers setting a new standard in agriculture with organic production and integrated pest management. We employ more than 700 people to provide food products for retail, food service and industrial use customers.
