San Diego snack company, Chasin' Dreams Farms won first prize in a national contest and the founder wants to build on that momentum.
Sydney Chasin has been eating gluten-free since she was 7-years-old. That meant she couldn’t grab just any bread or munch on just any kind of store-bought treat.
Her product “Tiny Pops” are hand-held packs of crunchy sorghum, an ancient grain that is air popped and comes in three different flavors — sweet and salty, cinnamon and cocoa. A handful of these look like mini-popcorn and taste like munching on a nutty flavored rice cake, which can be eaten on their own or as a topping.
Chasin officially launched the company in 2018. But first, she took out a credit card with a $5,000 limit and the mindset of using the bare minimum to start her business. In the United States, sorghum is a cereal crop used in animal feed, ethanol production and for human consumptionIt can be steamed, popped or used as a flour replacement for the specific market of people who eat gluten-free food.
While there aren’t acres of sorghum crops growing in the backyard of her Pacific Beach apartment — she sources it from Kansas — there is a real place called Chasin Dreams Farms.

How San Diego Secured Its Water Supply, at a CostAs a worsening drought forces millions of Californians to use less water, one corner of Southern California has largely shielded itself from supply-related woes: San Diego County. The path it took to get there serves either as a blueprint or a cautionary tale for Western water planners. San Diego’s water is now among the most expensive in the country. That’s prompted two largely agricultural irrigation districts in the region to try to break away from the regional water supplier saying they can purchase cheaper water elsewhere. Experts say that would push costs up even more as the state sinks deeper into drought.
