We’ve made it our mission to make doing better—and eating better—easy by offering delicious and nutritious snacks and meals for babies to big kids.

Meet Our Co-Founders

Our Founding Story

In 2015, Cassandra Curtis founded Once Upon a Farm along with co-founder Ari Raz to create more nutritious, convenient, and delicious baby food options for her daughter that weren’t available in her local supermarket. After creating her own recipes and selling the first cold-pressed baby food at retail – she joined forces with industry legend and former Annie’s CEO John Foraker and actress, philanthropist, and mom of 3, Jennifer Garner, to create the next generation childhood nutrition company. We are now sold in more than 13,000 stores nationwide with a growing product portfolio of organic, farm-fresh snacks and meals for babies and big kids!

Farmer Jen's Family Farm

Our Co-Founder, Jennifer Garner's, century-old family farm in Locust Grove, Oklahoma is a source of inspiration for some of our favorite recipes.
"Once I started working for Once Upon a Farm, I loved the idea of connecting kids to the farm early on. And so here we are, connecting kids to the farm and it gets to be my family’s farm that’s been with us since 1936. One thing that I love about the farm is that my Uncle Robert still lives here. He is the holder of the stories and runs the farm to this day."
-Jennifer Garner
