Economic Impact: Supports the local Michigan economy through production at Eastern Market Detroit and creates opportunities for expansion into larger retail chains, generating jobs and growth.
Cultural & Social Impact: Preserves traditional hand-harvesting techniques from remote regions of Mexico and connects producers with consumers via markets, online sales, and tastings.
Health Impact: Made with 100% natural ingredients like fresh garlic and purified sea salt, offering a healthier alternative to conventional sauces.
Pizca Chile delivers authentic flavor, supports local economies, preserves cultural traditions, and promotes healthier eating.
What I'll do with $5,000
If awarded $5,000, I would invest in a specialized piece of equipment to increase more our production capacity, allowing us to produce more bottles efficiently. This would enable us to launch three new flavors—Habanero, Crunchy, and Cranberry—so we can test market demand and expand our customer base. By increasing production and variety, we can reach more stores, markets, and online customers, generating traction and proving the scalability of Pizca Chile.
