0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:07.3	Welcome to Raising Good Humans. I'm Dr. Lisa Pressman and today is an episode that's
0:13.0	highlighting a brand that I partner with and love once upon a farm. I'm speaking with co-founder
0:20.8	Cassandra Curtis who's the chief innovation officer and she's just going to tell us all about
0:26.5	this brand that's doing good in the world, feeding kids and is a really good friend to raising
0:33.7	a humans podcast. So tell me how you started once upon a farm? Yeah, so it actually came out of
0:42.0	my own personal dilemma of being a working mom back in 2013. At that time couldn't find
0:50.9	refrigerated baby or kids food really on the market. You could just find shelf stable baby food.

1:44.8	I started doing, you know, farmers markets and testing it in small stores in San Diego. And I found
1:51.4	that lots of other moms were feeling this dilemma as well of really wanting fresh homemade
1:57.6	like food with convenience. So that's where we came in, you know, and we're the leading childhood
2:04.5	nutrition brand offering, you know, cold pressed organic snacks from babies all the way to
2:11.5	school age. And we also have our plant rich frozen meals too that we just launched, which is
