Almond protein is simply made from organic almonds. Unlike traditional almond flour which is made from ground up almonds, an artisanal pressurized extraction method is used to take the process one step further to separate the fat from the flour. This process creates an almond flour which contains 65% less fat and 55% more protein than traditional almond flour. As kids grow older, so do their protein needs. In order to give a great tasting, dairy free, nutritionally packed product, almonds are a great addition as they also offer other health benefits for tots and kids such as vitamin b complex, manganese, potassium, calcium, iron, zinc, and selenium. AAP regulations on allergens have recently shifted based on important research findings. It is now believed that delaying foods like tree nuts does not protect against allergens, and introducing them early is best. You should always talk to your pediatrician first, but according to the AAP you can feed your baby common allergens when starting solids because there’s no evidence that avoiding them prevents allergies. We do not use tree nuts (other than coconut, which is actually a fruit) in our baby food, but you will find it in our Toddler (Stage 4) and Smoothie products.

If your baby has been used to shelf-stable squeeze pouches, it can take some time to make the transition to a less sweet tasting and more textured blend. Here are some tips for introducing Once Upon a Farm:
– Start by mixing our food with some shelf-stable food (or other food they’re used to). Slowly add more Once Upon a Farm until they’ve completely transitioned.
– Some babies aren’t used to cold food, so try warming a pouch for 3 minutes in a bowl of warm water (always test the temperature before serving).
– Try for multiple days and at different times of day to give them each flavor. Just because they won’t eat it the first, second or even third time, it doesn’t mean they won’t like it the 4th!
– Make food fun! Pretend you’re an airplane or laugh and use high tones. This can completely transform the eating experience!
– Try it as a yogurt or oatmeal topper or mix them in with smoothies.
– If all else fails, these are yummy snacks for adults too! We eat them all the time over here and it’s a great way to add fresh fruits and veggies to your diet.

We believe in feeding fresh which is why we keep our blends as close to the farm as it gets. We use Cold-Pressure (HPP) to cold-press our blends and we don’t use any additives, preservatives, pre-processed purees or juice concentrates. Our unique recipes are made with farm fresh whole fruits and veggies! A fresh approach to homemade.

Yes! All blends are Certified Organic. Our mission is to nurture our children, each other and the earth in order to pass along a healthier and happier world for the next generation and, to us, that means sourcing only certified organic ingredients.

Yep! By law, anything that is certified organic cannot contain genetically modified ingredients. However, to give further peace of mind around the ones we love most, all of our blends are Non-GMO Project Verified.

The cold-pressure process applies pressure rather than heat to maintain the essential vitamins, nutrients and enzymes (plus, taste, color and texture!) of farm fresh produce, while extending shelf life so we have a little extra time to get our blends from our farms to your family. Shelf-stable baby food, on the other hand, is high heat pasteurized which affects the nutrient content, taste, color and texture and allows it to sit on the shelf at room temperature for years. Here’s a quick video to learn more!

Yes! Our blends are perishable and must be refrigerated.

We have tested our products for lead in the past and they have come out negative. We will be doing periodic testing of our products for lead going forward.

Some of our products contain cashews, almonds and coconut (coconut is actually a fruit but the FDA treats it as a tree nut as some people may have sensitivities or allergies). We are currently reformulating our Toddler and Smoothie blends to remove cashews and almonds so our products will be nut-free, however some products will still contain coconut so please read the ingredient statement carefully if you have any allergy concerns.

The facility we use processes tree nuts, egg, dairy, and soy. Care is taken to thoroughly clean all equipment in between each product to prevent the carryover of ingredients.

To warm up the food, place the pouch in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes. Always test the food to make sure it is temperature appropriate before feeding it to your baby.

Our pouches are not microwavable.

If properly refrigerated, our pouches can be consumed right up until the enjoy by date that’s located on the back of the pouch. If your little one decides they only want some of a pouch, you can re-refrigerate the rest for up to three days.

Yes! They’re easy to take on-the-go and can be left out of the fridge for 4 hours. If traveling for longer than that, the pouches can be carried with an ice pack or they can be frozen and then thawed thoroughly before eating. If frozen and put in lunches, they can also help keep other food cold. To take through TSA, simply designate them as baby food and put them in a separate bin. 

We suggest storing your pouches in the refrigerator, but you can also freeze them for up to 6 months. Just put them in the freezer before the enjoy by date on the back of the pouch and consume them within 24 hours after thawing.

We always recommend checking with your baby’s pediatrician if you have any concerns about how much your baby is eating. For the most part, babies will eat when they’re hungry and stop when they’re full, but some babies will eat more than others and it can vary day to day (or hour to hour!). Trust your baby’s signals, but check with your pediatrician if you’re concerned.

The great thing about a pouch is that it allows flexibility and convenience while also being eco-friendly. We recommend spoon feeding your little one in the early months. Simply pour some into a bowl or directly onto a spoon. Once they get older and can self-feed, they can eat directly from the pouch.
