More consumers buying non-GMO foods

A recent survey by Mambo Sprouts Marketing, a market research firm based in Collingswood, NJ, found that 93% of health and natural product consumers are buying non-GMO food products and want more information about non-GMO products.

Mambo Sprouts surveyed the buying habits of 1,000 health and natural product consumers to get an outlook on market trends for the coming year.

The survey found that consumers are buying non-GMO products (93%) more than any category other than organic (99%) including antibiotic free and hormone free meat and poultry (85%) and gluten free foods (69%).

In addition, 56% of consumers plan to increase purchases of non-GMO products in 2012, again more than any category other than organic.

Among those consumers who seek out non-GMO foods (66%), a large majority (85%) want food products to be specifically certified and labeled as non-GMO. Perhaps more importantly, seven in ten (70%) expect that products labeled “USDA Organic” are non-GMO. This compares to just 41% of consumers who expect “natural” products to be non-GMO. To that end, two in three (67%) wish their favorite retail stores provided more information about non-GMO such as signage, special sections and advertising features.

GMND is evaluating how to increase Bi-Agra product sales to non-GMO customers including backyard gardeners, preppers, community garden groups, inner city developers and commercial enterprises.  Initial response has been very gratifying and talks are continuing . . .

Cultivate a Better World

Chipotle’s Back to the Start commercial on the Grammys 2012 last night struck a chord in America with almost 5MM people viewing the video on youtube.  The message was buy organic food, grow your own/buy from small farmers rather than industrial meat processors and factory farms – watch it and see if you get the message.  There is a feeling across America that what we eat and where we get it from matters.  Bi-Agra agricultural products can help grow foods the old fashioned way and tap into this sentiment before it is too late to accept genetically engineered foods as the only alternative.  See movie here.

Many consumers are concerned about the increasing amount of genetically modified organisms  (GMO) that are used in our food and crops like corn, soy, canola and Hawaiian papaya and potential unintended side effects.  Consumers are searching for non-GMO products and more recently looking for seeds and plants to grow their own food like the popular survivor and Victory gardens in the past.  Our all natural Bi-Agra(tm) products can be a blessing for home gardeners searching for products to increase the plant health of home-grown vegetables and fruits naturally without chemicals, pesticides or fungicides.  Green Mountain is currently planning a Bi-Agra(tm) Field Trials program for home gardeners and homesteaders who would like to experience the benefits of Bi-Agra(tm) with free samples of the products to use in their gardens if they volunteer to report their results on our website.  If you are interested in participating in the Bi-Agra(tm) trials program, please email biagra-trials@greenbizness.com and tell us why you would like to be selected for the program.  Stay tuned for further details…..

Green Mountain Development and C. Trade Begin Development of Beach Haven Remediation and Project Site

CARLSBAD, Calif. – December 29, 2011 – Green Mountain Development Corp (Pinksheet: GMND), and C. Trade Group began the initial steps toward the development of a remediation and project site at the former Beach Haven Oil Terminal located in Berwick, Pennsylvania in the Marcellus Shale region.  The facility is strategically located and has five above-ground storage tanks with a capacity of over 2.5 million gallons for processing a variety of fluids. The company has previously reviewed facility alternatives for various uses including water remediation and integration with C. Trade’s existing logistics and fuel trading network and extensive experience in water remediation and management.

On December 27, Nick Kontonicolas, C. Trade CEO, met with a Beach Haven official on site to review facility assets and discuss logistics of traffic flow into/out of the operation.  They reviewed applications from the local planning commission office which will enable the commencement to remedy the environmental factors and establish the permit conditions required to reactivate the facility as a remediation and project site.  Project signage was erected by Nick, to serve as an information resource via the posted company’s website at www.GreenBizness.com for all interested parties.

Robert Brehm, CEO of GMND commented, “As part of the terminal operations team, Nick and I are beginning the process of developing the site with C. Trade network partners and technology companies we met last month in Southern California.  These partners have applicable technologies in water remediation, natural gas engines, and alternative solutions for processing fracking and drilling operation waste streams using closed loop facilities similar to those at the Beach Haven site.  Our short term efforts are focused on integrating these technologies into a facility that solves pressing local environmental problems while providing significant revenue opportunities.”

September Update

Green Mountain continues to develop its infrastructure and business expansion plans for FY 2012 which started on October 1.

In September we concentrated on several projects including refining the logistics, potential operators and additional technology to use for the Berwick frack water treatment facility.  With the recent decision of the Pennsylvania EPA to limit the treatment of frack water at municipal water treatment plants, the demand for water treatment facilities and technology solutions has increased dramatically.

Our treatment strategy is gaining momentum quickly.  Alternative technologies such as mobile treatment facilities used at well drilling sites have sludge that must be disposed of, (usually buried out of state), and the energy costs are often greater than wellsite treatment savings.  Other solutions such as lined, open pit, treatment facilities may leak toxic chemicals into water supplies and treatment times can be long limiting the amount of water that can be treated.  The above ground tank facility at Berwick may be the ideal solution depending upon operational permit conditions such as the volume of trucks allowed in/out of the facility in a given period, the treatment levels required (thus determining the amount of frack water that can be treated in a given time) and available sites and costs for disposal of any untreated waste products.  We continue to refine our Berwick game plan as the pieces of the puzzle come together.

During September we also put together plans for an Engineering Services Division which could provide technical support and oversee operations at the Berwick facility as well as provide related engineering services for remediation and fluid treatment for onshore and offshore drilling facilities.

During the first quarter of 2012 we hope to complete our financial disclosure requirements to allow easier trading of our public stock, appoint a new advisory board to accelerate our business development in energy services and agricultural products divisions, and increase our shareholder value with new business.

Shale Gas Boom Creates $3B Market Opportunity To Clean Marcellus Fracking Water

August 24, 2011 Green Mountain Development continues to investigate the logistics of implementing the shale gas recycling plant using the the Beach Haven Oil Terminal located in Berwick, Pennsylvania in the Marcellus Shale region.

A recent article in Forbes Magazine, Shale Gas Boom Creates Market Opportunity To Clean Fracking Water said “The resulting market for wastewater disposal and treatment in this region alone will exceed $3 billion per year…”

Obviously with this market opportunity and the tankage capacity of the Beach Haven terminal, there is a good potential for near term revenue generation if we can get the engineering, permits and logistics underway in 2011.  Stay tuned for updates….
