Deep dives
Tiny Organics: Encouraging Children to Eat More Vegetables
Tiny Organics is a company that aims to address the low vegetable consumption among children. With only 10% of kids eating the recommended amount of veggies, the founders, Sophia Laurel and Carolyn Batitsky, recognized the need for healthier options. They offer plant-based, organic, and allergen-friendly baby food that is savory-forward and packed with nutrient-dense ingredients like vegetables, fruits, grains, and beans. The recipes are developed in collaboration with a neonatal nutritionist to ensure optimal nutrition. Tiny Organics aims to make their products accessible, with a direct-to-consumer model and plans to expand into retail. They have received support from notable backers and are close to reaching profitability.
Taking Baby Food to the Freezer Aisle: Unique Approach by Tiny Organics
Tiny Organics challenges the traditional approach to baby food by offering frozen options. The founders believe that frozen food can be just as healthy as fresh, providing a viable alternative to shelf-stable, high-sugar options found in supermarkets. By expanding into the freezer aisle, Tiny Organics aims to demonstrate that parents can feed their babies fresh and frozen foods, just like adults. With a focus on accessibility, they aspire to be available in a variety of retail channels, starting with the natural food market. Additionally, they have made efforts to be accepted into the WIC program, targeting families in food deserts and areas lacking access to fresh groceries.
Growth and Future Plans of Tiny Organics
Although not yet profitable, Tiny Organics is approaching that milestone and is in a post-series A stage. In their three and a half years in the market, they have already delivered over three million meals. As the demand for their products continues to grow, they plan to expand their sales channels and enter retail markets, including Amazon. While they remain open to all options, their focus is on staying private to leverage the innovation and agility that larger consumer products companies may lack. They envision themselves as a part of the larger movement to reinvent the baby food category and aim to offer healthy alternatives to widely popular but less nutritious options.
