About Once Upon a Farm

Once Upon a Farm was founded with the dream of providing yummy and nutritious “farm-to-family” foods to kids of all ages. This was the goal from the very start in 2015, as the brand began making cold-pressed, organic baby food and applesauces that parents would prefer over the highly-processed, shelf-stable alternatives. Today, Once Upon a Farm is actively driving retail expansion and looking toward nationwide availability in 2018.
