What is our campaign goal?
Are you looking for a delicious and unique food product? Our dumplings are exactly what you've been searching for! We are a passionate team of culinary experts dedicated to satisfying and delighting your taste buds.
Our new dream is to share our love for gluten-free dumplings with the world, and we need your help to achieve that.
Firstly, we want to ensure that the taste of our dumplings is unmatched in the market by developing the final recipe. With your support, we can acquire a reliable dumpling machine, high-quality ingredients, and equipment for production and storage. Once we achieve our first goal, we can introduce the first three varieties of gluten-free dumplings to the market.
Secondly, we aim to create a strong brand identity and generate positive excitement around our product. By investing in marketing and advertising, we can build a positive brand image in the market and ensure that information about our dumplings reaches as many interested individuals as possible. A solid and stable consumer base will create opportunities for the creation of even more gluten-free frozen products. Upon achieving the second goal, we can purchase additional equipment, and develop at least one more variety of gluten-free dumplings.
Upon achieving the final goal, we can expand our team to develop even more gluten-free frozen products (such as frozen gluten-free pastries, cookies, and cakes) to enhance our bakery's range and ensure that our natural and preservative-free products last longer than before (freezing contributes to this). We also hope that our products will reach fans outside of Estonia in the future, and frozen products are the best option for exports.
Who are we and what do we produce?
Our Gluten-Free Bakery, located in Laagri (Harju County), ensures that fresh gluten-free bread, buns, cookies, cakes, and other delicious baked goods are made for you every day. They are also lactose-free and free from added sugar. The bread, cookies, and cakes are also preservative-free. We also produce plant-based products, including vegan options. We use high-quality natural sugar substitutes such as stevia and erythritol (a sweetener derived from gluten-free fermented corn) for sweetening.
We also produce various bread products and simple bakery products and pastries under the Priileib brand.
Under the BiPa brand, we create delicious "sin-free" cakes.
No!Gluteno! is our third brand under which we have manually crafted initial gluten-free dumplings and allowed our first customers to taste three different varieties of gluten-free dumplings.
The three varieties are:
- Minced meat and bacon
- Pumpkin and parmesan
- Spicy vegan dumplings with chili
We will also offer an assortment pack containing all three varieties.
So far, we have been making dumplings by hand, which requires a significant amount of time. One person can make up to 2 kg of dumplings in one hour of continuous work, excluding time needed for preparing the filling and dough. To bring the dumplings to the shelves of retail chains, we need additional capacity in the form of a dumpling machine. We have found a manufacturer in Europe from whom we can purchase a suitable machine for dumpling production. We are confident that with this machine, we can supply major retail chains sufficiently to ensure that everyone who desires our unique and delicious dumplings can enjoy them every day.
The feedback from those who have already tasted our dumplings (including individuals with different food intolerances) has been very positive ("great flavor balance," "excellent consistency," etc.), and we have received a lot of feedback on how to further improve them. Even those without intolerances who have tasted our dumplings have said that our dumplings are very flavorful and they would choose our dumplings over regular ones, despite not having any specific intolerance.
We have calculated that the maximum price for one kilogram of dumplings would be up to 30 euros (depending on the cost of ingredients). Initially, the individual packages we plan to sell in our local store in Laagri would be priced at 4-6 euros for 200 grams.
The project plan involves acquiring the necessary equipment and ingredients, followed by testing the machine. By the latest, in the autumn of 2023, we aim to introduce our gluten-free dumplings to retail stores. We will also make them available for sale in our own store in Laagri as soon as possible.
How much money do we need?
The total project cost is 23 658 euros, incl. a grant from the Rural Development Foundation (PRIA) - 6503 euros. We hope to get through Hooandja 17155 euros.
We have submitted a partial project application (for the dumpling machine and refrigerators) to PRIA and received initial confirmation on 12 April 2023. The final confirmation will be received in June 2023, with their support covering 60% of our initial project cost (6503 euros). We need to raise the remaining amount (17 155 euros) with your help to bring our available varieties of dumplings (and potentially additional varieties) to the masses.
Our goal is to bring the most delicious dumplings to a large number of people, and we have set three exciting milestones for ourselves.
- When the first milestone of 7846 euros is reached, we can acquire the dumpling machine and other necessary equipment (refrigerators, freezers, work tables, various trays, sheets, and kitchen hood). Additionally, we will install a cooling system in our delivery vehicles to start producing three varieties of gluten-free dumplings.
- With additional 3424 euros, we can contribute to marketing and purchase additional equipment to develop at least one more gluten-free dumpling variety.
- With additional 5885 euros, we can hire additional staff and develop other gluten-free frozen products (such as gluten-free pastries, cookies, cakes).
We invite you to contribute to the realization of our dream! Once we achieve our first milestone, it means you'll be part of a true culinary revolution, and together we can reach the next two milestones. So don't miss out on this tasty adventure and support us today to quickly bring our dumplings to the masses!
All rewards for crowdfunding contributors will be sent according to the respective contribution levels described in the rewards table. We will send out the dumplings as soon as we have the machine in our possession and it is operational (no later than July-August 2023).
