Babies deserve Gourmet.
I was a new mom with my 6-month-old daughter, Finley, staring down the ever-so-intimidating baby aisle.
Feeling exhausted, as all new moms are, and overwhelmed by the shelves of jarred baby food. The options
weren’t exactly exciting...‘split-peas’, ‘carrot and potato’, ‘turkey and gravy’. How was I supposed to
get my baby interested in eating when I couldn’t get myself to even try one? I knew she deserved better.
Having grown up with a mom who instilled the value of whole foods, I was confident that I could create
gourmet options for Finley. Together with my sister Jill, we began by making delicious combinations for
our own children, then expanded to selling out week-after-week at the local Calgary Farmer’s Market. After
listening to countless moms share their love for our food, we knew we had to help more families.
Fast forward to today, 15 years later, and our desire to help parents and babies on their food journey has
remained just as clear. We develop every product and never compromise on quality or taste, using only the
very best ingredients.
