We are looking for your support so we can purchase dairy processing equipment and obtain a kosher and USDA organic certification. Once we have funding we will be able to draw up plans for our a new manufacturing space, order and install our equipment, submit an application to the Kosher Union and USDA, seek approval from the New York State Department of Agriculture & Markets, and order our starting inventory of bottles and ingredients for our expanded production process.
After the project has been funded, it is only natural that we will face challenges. One of the biggest challenges we will face is ensuring a high quality and safe finished product. The last thing we will want to do is to have to recall a batch of our lassi drinks because of contamination.
In order to avoid this issue, we will do the following
1. Work with the Northeast Center for Food Entrepreneurship to ensure that our equipment is making products that are optimal for consumption.
2. We will develop an open and direct line of communication with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets to inspect our process and test our products.
3. Consistently attend ongoing educational workshops and events that will keep us up to date on dairy processing standards, equipment, and quality assurance steps.
If you can’t contribute financially, you can still support our business:
