Vernonia Coffee Roasters is
Back in Business continued from front page
fee. They recently sent out an email to
customers stating that they “...plan on
being back in full operation by the first
week of August!...We have been able
to borrow some time on a little roaster
so we can receive/process orders. We
have also picked up some really great
new coffee that we are excited to make
available plus we have all our regular
blends too!”
Davis was also happy to an-
nounce that their coffee will be back
on the shelves of the Vernonia Sentry
Market shortly. They will also be of-
fering two of their “Vernonia” blends-
-Blend 47 and Bridge Street Blend--at
the Made in Vernonia shop very soon.
A variety of crowd funding
platforms have emerged over the last
few years; Indiegogo was just one of
the companies the Davis’s researched
before deciding to move forward with
their campaign.
Davis says he was directed to-
wards a crowd funding option by David
Stocker, Executive Director for the Co-
lumbia County Economic Team. “He
had heard about our situation and he
brought up Kickstarter,” said Davis.
Kickstarter is one of the largest
funding platforms for creative projects.
Davis says they did some research and
made a proposal twice to Kickstarter.
Both times they were rejected. So Davis
says they decided to try Indiegogo.
Davis says he liked Indiegogo
right from the start. “They have a really
good way that they look at what they
do—if you have a reason and you have
a need, no matter who you are or what
you are, then you should have a right to
do your project,” says Davis.
Indiegogo allows projects to
be set up in a variety of ways. Verno-
nia Coffee Roasters set up their cam-
paign so that they would only collect
the funds pledged if they reached their
goal. Their project was also set up to
include incentive gifts for larger dona-
tions. All funds are processed through
Paypal.
“Once they approve your proj-
ect then it’s all up to you to push your
project and let people know about it,”
says Davis. Vernonia Coffee Roast-
CLASSIFIED ADS
ers used Facebook and email to inform
their customer base and the community
about their project.
With only a few days to go,
the project was still almost $900 short
of their goal but a big push on July 4 th
put them over the top, and even further.
“We were still receiving donations right
up until the end, even though we had
already reached our goal,” says Davis.
“We’re excited and really grateful for
what people did. People did not have
to do this and they did. We are so en-
couraged by it. It’s a huge shot in the
arm.”
The crowd funding concept
obviously worked for Vernonia Coffee
Roasters, even though Davis initially
had doubts. “Really, when you look
at it, I think it’s a great thing for a lot of
people,” says Davis. “There are a lot
of great projects and ‘fundraisers’ that
are getting funded, that people want to
be a part of. That was what helped me
decide to give it a try-- people were ask-
ing to get involved and they want to be
able to see where the money is going to
go.”
“I think this is wonderful thing
that has come up,” says Davis about
crowd funding. “In this day and age
when everyone is looking for creative
ways to do what they are doing—small
businesses, fundraisers, people that
need medical help—there are now lots
of different possibilities.”
Davis says once the new semi-
commercial roaster arrives they will
begin to fully process orders and build
inventory. Previously Vernonia Coffee
Roasters was working with two very
small roasters and could only roast a
half pound at a time. The new roaster
will be able to roast 2-3 pounds at a
time. Davis says he will continue to
work from his home, although the lon-
ger range plan is to finish the interior of
an outbuilding on their property into a
workspace for the business. Davis says
he is taking several business classes at
Portland Community College and is
researching grant options through the
USDA. He also says he hopes to talk
with at least two more area grocery
stores about carrying their coffees.
