new juice for the caboose

Why We Are Fundraising:  Much to our delight, our first summer was a success.  We are fortunate to have booked Folk Fest and a regular spot at the Kits Farmer's Market so we can't help but believe that we are onto something good.  We do need some financial support to keep up with the positive momentum.  The requested collective funds of $2500 would help us afford a new generator which would be quieter and provide more power to the truck.  This would allow us to keep our coveted spot at Kit's Farmer's Market which is strengthening their noise restrictions as well as expand into other Markets and events with noise restrictions.  We are also hoping for a coveted street and roaming permit and a quieter generator would make us more welcome among business establishments.  A new generator will also provide us with the opportunity to expand our menu to a regular hot menu, including hot beverages and soup.  At this time our current generator is loud and at its max for power.

The $2500 will be enough to cover more than half of the cost of the generator.  We are hoping to cover the rest with a Government Grant and any additional with our own funds.  We have already invested all of our personal savings (and then some...) into the truck and thought we would try to fundraise.  If we happen to receive more than 100% (fingers crossed!) anything extra will go toward a solar panel fund which is our dream power solution and a future goal.

The Bigger Picture:  The immediate embrace of this business makes us believe that people are craving healthier options to balance the demands of our over-processed and saturated lives.

Seeing people enjoy my smoothies by giving the nod after the first sip or already establishing regulars that look forward to their weekly treat at the market makes me feel great pride and optimism.  It makes me feel like I'm doing my part to make life just a bit happier and healthier by having followed my dreams.  And that to me, is SUCCESS!
