Artisanal Brands, Inc., formerly known as American Home Foods Products, Inc. (OTCBB:AHFP), conducted its annual meeting of shareholders yesterday.

At the meeting, the company's common shareholders elected eight nominees to the board of directors and changed its official corporate name to correspond with its brand name, Artisanal Premium Cheese. Shareholders also approved the appointment of Sherb & Co., LLP, to serve as the Company's auditing firm for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2011.

Daniel W. Dowe, President and Chief Executive Officer of Artisanal provided an overview of the company's immediate plans to expand its brand within the three market segments it serves – foodservice, retail, and direct consumer-online. The Company is exploring several expansion initiatives in the retail sector, including potential opportunities with regional retail cheese distributors and global wine and spirit companies, that may result in those companies making strategic investments in Artisanal.

Mr. Dowe stated, ?In our first fiscal quarter ending August 31, 2010 we expect to report significant developments in our retail sector expansion. Among our upcoming activities are more than 80 scheduled road shows at Costco locations in 19 cities. Additionally, beginning in August with an initial group of stores, we will market our CheeseClock by Artisanal ? program at a wine franchise chain with over 100 locations nationwide. Also in August, we plan to expand into several Whole Foods stores in the Tri-State New York region.

?From a web presence standpoint, Artisanal has a newly hired internal team who will enhance our SEO and web link strategies to improve our ranking with search engines as well as executing on the many affiliated partner programs we've established with wine clubs, wine makers.

?Within our foodservice segment, today, we began the formal roll-out of our new high-volume banquet program to upscale properties, starting with the first of nine regional meeting across the country with chefs from Hyatt Hotels. Hotels have seen increased demand for artisanal and gourmet cheese selections, and we believe our banquet program will help them meet this demand.

?We recognize the importance of pressing ahead with several initiatives in each of our three operating segments in order to improve the visibility and enhance the value of the Artisanal brand with the goal of improving our financial results from operations.?
