For Eugene ice cream makers Stuart and Emily Phillips, a slew of new investment couldn't have come at a better time.
Their first order of 10,000 pint containers with Red Wagon Creamery on the side -- which only come in batches of 10,000 -- was about to run out this week. The company, which has been expanding its wholesaling and working to get its ice creams into more grocery stores, would have been back to stickers and hand-labeling.

The Eugene company was among the first to take advantage of the state's recently enacted investment crowdfunding program and the first to reach its minimum fundraising threshold, allowing it to buy packaging and ingredients in bulk.
