Dave’s Dirty Vanilla Starts Crowdfunding Campaign

Artisan Vanilla Extract Maker Seeks to Grow and Contribute to Vanilla Farmers Through Crowdfunding Site RocketHub

Bend, OR, January 27, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Felton Foods, the maker of Dave’s Dirty Vanilla Pure Vanilla Extract is now raising funds for their expansion through crowdfunding website RocketHub.

There are two goals with this funding project. First, to purchase equipment, facilities, and licenses to expand distribution of the Dave’s Dirty Vanilla line of artisan extracts. Second, to assist farmers in Madagascar by paying a premium fair price for the vanilla beans used in Felton Foods’ products.

“Vanilla beans are a labor intensive crop and the primary source of income for most of these farmers,” according to Dave Felton, founder and owner. “Through our supplier, we will be able to help make sure that the farmers in Madagascar can make an equitable living for their families.”

Through the crowdfunding model, Felton Foods is offering rewards for contributions. Anyone can participate with funding levels available from one-dollar to $100. The funding campaign runs through April 17, 2012. Felton Foods hopes to raise $15,000 which it would use for equipment, facilities, further licensing and distribution.

Interested individuals are encouraged to visit the Dave’s Dirty Vanilla website at www.DavesDirtyVanilla.com.
