Andean Dream
Quinoa Product
Entrepreneur, Ingrid Hirstin-Lazcano, founded Andean Dream in 2006. Her inspiration was her husband, Fernando Lazcano-Dunn, who was serving as the Consul General of Bolivia, in Los Angeles. He introduced her to the plight of the indigenous quinoa farmers in Bolivia that were living well below the poverty line.
After developing the first quinoa cookie in her home kitchen, Ingrid saw an opportunity to improve the lives of individuals in the poverty-stricken regions of Bolivia by creating the Andean Dream brand. She traveled to Bolivia and connected with a quinoa supplier who had obtained organic certification for 280 indigenous farming families. They became the dedicated supplier for Andean Dream. In addition to helping farmers, Ingrid saw an opportunity to improve the lives of single mothers and people with disabilities, by identifying a local manufacturer who employs these individuals, to make the Andean Dream products.
