Hi, Im Chef Saa'Shalom Bey, creator of the Rawtopian Bliss brand of vegan cuisine. I owned a vegan restaurant for 6 years in Columbia, SC (2015-2021) and have since been offering private cheffing services, meal prep services and vending my goods at local festivals and special events since that time.

i am currently raising funds to build my own fully equipped production kitchen and training center. This space will allow me to produce my vegan products on a larger scale, so i may get my goods placed in retail spaces such as Whole Foods, Earthfare. Sprouts, Trader Joes and the like. As well this space will be a training ground for other plantbased chefs interested in learning my brand of raw/vegan culinary skills for purposes of franchising the Rawtopian Bliss Brand.

This production kitchen will assist me in not only creating healthier food options, but to also assist in building plantbased businesses for aspiring entrepreneurs. Let's face it, in America our collective health is spiraling in the negative. Our food supply is constantly being degraded and compromised. If we don't create a shift in the way we eat, our future generations are at risk of massive degradation in physical health, mental and emotional wellness. I believe the world is ready for a change in the way we eat. Everyone won't, but many more will. My desire is to create a stronger healthier nation of citizens so we might actually find a less stressed out life experience.

Lastly, these funds will assist in property upgrades, as use of land has been donated to this mission (a 1-acre lot in South Carolina), not only for the production kitchen itself, but also for the growing of fresh organic produce. We have a local contractor who has offered a 12x40 building at a dramatically discounted cost of only $7,500 to get us started, and he has agreed to do the internal buildout at additional expense.

Your donations have the power to make this vision a reality. Thank you for considering my cause.
