I’m one of those moms. You know, the kind that insists on only the best for their kids. So when my preemie baby started solids, I spent hours searching for baby food I could trust and everything led me to Once Upon a Farm. While there are many baby food subscriptions out there, none of them promise the same nutritious, safe, and highly convenient offerings as Once Upon a Farm. Their freshly-frozen meals for babies and farm-fresh snacks for kiddos of all ages are unmatched from a quality perspective and my kids are obsessed. Here are 5 reasons why we only buy Once Upon a Farm:
1. The meals are all-organic AND really tasty
Once Upon a Farm frozen meals are always organic, and made with a variety of high-quality, real ingredients, so I know my baby is getting the very best. The nutritionally-packed, tasty combinations help to introduce my little one to a wide variety of ingredients and textures in one sitting, which is key to avoiding picky eating habits later in life. Plus, they offer cold-pressed pouches for easy on-the-go snacking without added sugar, which my older two loved.
But here’s what really won the day: my baby loves them. I’ll admit I didn’t know how she was going to respond to trying new fruits and veggies, but the creative combinations of flavors kept him coming back for more.
2. They’re easy to find at the store and online
My baby is a banana fanatic and she devours Once Upon a Farm’s freshly frozen Plant-Rich Meal: Quinoa, Banana, Spinach & Coconut Butter. (Happy dance that she’s getting veggies in the process!). If we’re traveling to visit family, it’s nice to know I can grab their convenient, ready-to-cook meals from select grocery stores in the freezer aisle. My little one’s favorites are stocked at our nearby Target, in addition to Whole Foods and Sprouts locations.
I’ve also found that having a Once Upon a Farm subscription is so convenient. I can pick and choose from a larger variety of meals and have them delivered straight to my door on a recurring basis, sparing me another thing to think about. With the option to purchase in-store and online, I never have to worry about running low.
3. The quick prep time is perfect for our busy, on-the-go schedule
Time is a priceless commodity when you’re a parent, and with three kids to look after, I’ve struggled to find ways to take back time without giving up quality or nutrition. In essence, I was looking for meals with whole, nutritious ingredients but with fast food convenience. It’s as though Once Upon a Farm was hearing my struggles because they managed to achieve exactly that.
They arrive frozen and ready-to-cook, completely eliminating the need for any chopping or prep work, which is a huge time-saver! Not to mention, they can be ready in just 5 minutes in the microwave or in 10-12 minutes on the stove. That sure beats the 45+ minutes of prep time and sink full of dishes I’d be dealing with otherwise.
Plus, because they are made with freshly-frozen ingredients this means their fruits and veggies are picked and frozen at peak ripeness, essentially locking in farm-fresh nutrients.
4. Once Upon a Farm has rigorous safety standards
There’s a lot of scary news out there about heavy metals and other contaminants in baby food. Thankfully, Once Upon a Farm is certified clean which is hard to find when you’re also looking for convenience. They craft their recipes intentionally and routinely test with third parties. Thanks to their high standards, I have peace of mind knowing that I am giving my baby and kids the best, safest, and cleanest foods available.
My Family’s Favorite
As a mom, I love Once Upon a Farm’s organic guarantee, ready-to-cook meals delivered to my door (or having the option to stop in-store when we’re running low), and letting my baby discover a wide variety of nutritious ingredients. It’s such a relief to know I am not only giving my little ones the very best but that they keep asking for more! It’s a no-brainer; it’s Once Upon a Farm all the way!
