From humble beginnings at local farmers markets to a beloved household brand, here's the story of Once Upon a Farm.

Cassandra Curtis is making fresh baby food in her kitchen for her first daughter and realizes there are no fresh, refrigerated baby food options in the market.

Cassandra researches cold processing vs heat processing and meets with High-Pressure Processing (HPP) brand founders and manufacturers.
