WAS IT ALL A DREAM? 🥥🌴 We kicked off Lil Bucks' year in Indonesia, visiting Big Tree Farms Inc. and Aliet Green coconut sugar growers on Java. How wild + special that I got to visit alongside our COO Kailey Donewald who worked with coconut for nearly a decade at her previous startup🍦😭🙏💗 Can't describe how much of a career/life highlight this was. When you're visiting these growers, you're not visiting thousands of acres of industrialized land with manicured rows of trees….you're visiting micro farms, their homes and backyards, where the harvesters climb 20-30 trees twice a day. It's typically the husbands who harvest while the 👑queen👑 women perform the delicate sugar-making process to prepare for additional processing, making either granulated coconut sugar or blocks of coconut sugar. They use indigenous organic practices to preserve the coconut nira (the "sap" from top of the trees that is the base of coconut sugar), like using a combination of mangosteen shells and lime in the nira containers to stop fermentation before processing. It's as #regenerativeorganic as it gets, and we are beyond humbled for the opportunity to see this work in action on the other side of the world, and seeing how it compares to the wonderful work our farmers are doing in the USA for buckwheat. We are all more connected than we think 🌏🧑🌾🌱🌴💚 Regenerative Organic Alliance One Step Closer (OSC)
If you're at Newtopia Now this week, be sure to stop by Lil Bucks' booth #3498 by the Regenerate stage. Excited for this new show format! 🤙🤙 #newtopianow #newtopia

To think that I didn't know what a P&L was five years ago... 🤪😇 Tune in Wednesday with Naturally Chicago & Naturally Boulder to hear this marketing/designer gal discuss financing for Lil Bucks to ~actually~ become "Quaker Oats of Buckwheat": https://lnkd.in/g73h8frT Took LOTS of learning, no's, staring at walls being like "how is this even possible??" 💀💀💀, to ultimately find a way through. Honestly, when I started looking at fundraising as a creative process, things transformed. 🎨 And of course I wouldn't have gotten anywhere without learning from others like TIG Brands and many I've met through the The Hatchery Chicago, Naturally Network and more. Will definitely be an interesting conversation and I will no doubt continue to learn from others on this panel: Jim Slama Elliot Begoun Kyle Koehler Wildway Kelly Perkins Tonya Donati
