Our First Vanilla Party: November 9, 2013
What does a Lágrima vanilla party look like?
In the leading role we have Jesseca Hallows of One Sweet Appetite supported by Ashlee Prisbrey of Topsy Turvy Cakes. who did everything from selecting the venue to making soup and name tags to getting ingredients, gifts and flowers not to forget sending invitations and personally inviting everyone to attend.
There was a cast and crew of volunteers with photography by Chelsea Peterson Photograhy (all photos are attributed to her).
During the party we made Nonna's biscotti -- and because this wonderful treat bakes for 30 minutes, twice, we had time for a delux grilled cheese bar and a chance to talk all things vanilla. Most importantly, we made meaningful connections with people who share our values and vision.
Thank you everyone for attending -- this was such a special time for us and Orson Gygi in Salt Lake City is such a special space to host the event.
Thank you again Jesseca, Ashlee, Heather at Orson Gygi, Chelsea and everyone for joining us.

Also, please tell others you know about the code: blog about it and tell friends. If you find our vanilla as incredible as we do, please help us spread the word.
Lastly, we are genuinely eager to hear your thoughts, get your feedback and hear about the recipes you cook up with Lágrima. If you'd like to partner on something, be an early tester of our new products (and there will be many) or would like to experiment with our vanilla in your own kitchen, just let us know. We'd love to make something work - simply contact us.
Thank you from all of us here at Lágrima.Designing the Product
We've been very busy these days - dreaming, creating, producing…all while our first batch of vanilla goodness ages as we prepare for our launch later this summer. Here's a look at some "sketches" of our bottles, made to map out the printing of Lágrima labels. The design process is fun, all the while a work in progress. Enjoy the process with us...
Lágrima is Born
A new partnership is born from a sunny California weekend of good food, great wine and and a stroll on the beach. David and Danielle hosted Neil and Rebekah for a weekend at their home in Petaluma. Hoping to find a common vision for the future of Fellowship Vanilla, the weekend "retreat" was spent collaborating and brainstorming, eating and dancing, and finally realizing that their vision for what lies ahead were aligned. From this, came Lágrima!
