Chasin’ Dreams Farm Wins Naturally San Diego Pitch Slam

PRESS RELEASE — NEWS PROVIDED BY Sydney Chasin for Chasin’ Dreams Farm

San Diego, CA (MAY 2025) – Sydney Chasin, founder of Chasin’ Dreams Farm, has been awarded the top honor at the 2025 Naturally San Diego Pitch Slam, a competition celebrating innovative and sustainable consumer brands. The event, held on April 24 at Liberty Station, featured five emerging companies vying for the spotlight in front of a panel of industry experts and a live audience.

Chasin’ Dreams Farm is on a mission to reinvent America’s cornfield and seed oil-filled junk foods. Their Puffs are made from U.S. frown sorghum and avocado oil, an alternative to Cheeto Puffs. The brand’s commitment to clean ingredients—free from artificial additives and corn—resonated with the competition’s focus on better–for-you, planet-friendly products. Flavors like Cheddar, Sour Cream & Onion, and the soon to be released Dill Pickle showcase the brand’s dedication to delivering indulgent snacks without compromise. Each serving is crafted using avocado oil and contains 90–100 calories.

Chasin founded Chasin’ Dreams Farm with a vision to create snacks that are both indulgently satisfying and better for the planet. Drawing inspiration from her upbringing on the Chasin family farm, she set out to transform simple, ancient grains into flavorful snacks.

The Naturally San Diego Pitch Slam, presented by Jimbo’s, is an annual event that highlights the most promising natural products brands in San Diego. Finalists compete for a suite of prizes designed to accelerate their growth and visibility in the market. The competition is part of Naturally San Diego’s broader mission to stimulate growth and entrepreneurship among environmentally and socially conscious consumer packaged goods companies in the region.

As the winner of the 2025 Pitch Slam, Chasin’ Dreams Farm is poised to expand its reach and continue its commitment to providing consumers with snacks that are as good for them as they are for the planet.​
