Karaite Kasher Meat Processing

Hello, 

my name is Travis and I am a Karaite Jewish Shochet. I am raising money to build and maintain a Karaite Kosher meat processing facility. It is my goal to use the money to buy equipment and get all the proper licensing to start this business. I am hoping to have the funds ASAP but within the next 2 months would be awesome. 

This project means the world to me. I have spent the last few years trying to bring Karaite Kasher meat and Poultry to the United States. The primary goal of the money is to keep the company self-reliant and as vertically integrated as possible.  We plan to use the money in the following ways:
* To help with construction costs including facility design.
* To begin breeding sheep, chicken and goat for slaughter (see 3 year plan)
* To ensure that the business is self-sustainable without need of further funding.

3 Year Plan
The 3 year plan is to accomplish the following tasks:
* Be up and running in spring 2017. The initial operation will include the butcher shop that will cut and package meats for sale. Slaughter will be done at another facility. I will personally perform the slaughter and inspection on these animals prior to transport. 
* Work with local growers to help increase production numbers. By doing so, costs per pound will decrease over time.
* To add on-site slaughter (requires rezoning) by 2018
* To build the business to over $1m in sales volume (both local and mail order sales)

How does this benefit you???
The rising costs of Kosher meat is how, we are dedicated to decreasing the costs of Kosher meat and poultry while ensuring that animals are treated ethically during their entire life cycle. 

For all who donate, we will give rewards for you assistance as well as giving you advance notice on new products in development prior to their official release (via VIP notices).
