Our Founding Story

In 2015, Cassandra Curtis founded Once Upon a Farm with co-founder Ari Raz to create more nutritious, convenient, and delicious baby food options for her daughter, something she couldn’t find in her local supermarket. After developing her own recipes and launching the first high-pressure protected baby food at retail, she joined forces with industry leader and former Annie’s CEO John Foraker, along with actress, philanthropist, and mum of three, Jennifer Garner, to build the next generation childhood nutrition company.  

Today, Once Upon a Farm products can be found in thousands of stores across the U.S. and are now expanding globally — offering a growing range of organic, farm-fresh snacks and meals for babies and children.

Ingredients Grown and Selected with Care

Organic is our baseline, guiding how we grow, source, and create every recipe. We follow European Union organic standards to ensure our fruits and vegetables are grown responsibly — good for people, for the planet, and for the next generation.

"As moms, we make a promise to help our children reach their fullest potential. Food plays a huge role in that which is why we carefully craft each nutrient-dense recipe with your little one’s future in mind."
