A great new store opened in Oakville this summer, and i've finally had a chance to check it out!
As a busy mom with 3 young kids, I only wish I had done this sooner. Infant Organics is a family owned business right here in Oakville, and you'll feel that from the minute you walk through the door. The friendly staff is there to help, answer questions, and help you find some great food for your little ones.
Infant Organics is committed to providing the freshest organic meals for your baby. Food is 100% certified organic, and produce is purchased from local farmers. The owners of Infant Organics pick everything up from the farmers in person. All the food is prepared right in the store at 300 Randall Street in Oakville. All the ingredients used to prepare this food is picked at its peak and travels very little from the farm, to the store, and then to the buyer. Infant Organics offers breakfast, lunch, dinner options, as well as snacks.
The baby food starts with full purees for 6-9 month old babies, and then increases in texture right up to 15+ months. As the stages of food progress, all the food groups are added in. There is no need to worry about the nutrition, this food is healthy, and as good as homemade.
We started out with infant food for my baby Cole. He's a good eater, but very fussy about texture, so i was a little nervous about trying something new. I decided to try fruit first as that seems to be a hit with my little guy. "Rosy Applesauce" was gobbled right up! and we moved on to the next item. Cole cleaned his bowl every time! We have successfully tried so many different items and he loves it all. I think his favorites so far are “squash and broccoli medley”, “Cheesy Cauliflower Soup”, and “Yummy Yams”. He seemed so happy with the flavours that he didn't seem bothered with different textures. I feel confident making baby food, but I’m not so great about combining flavours. This was perfect for me, as it gave Cole a chance to try some great food that mommy really doesn’t know how to cook. I will continue to make him some of the veggies and meet that our family eats, but my cooking really can’t compare in flavour to Infant Organics.
Something else I found very impressive is the packaging Infant Organics uses. All the packaging used for food is biodegradable or recyclable. They have taken great strides to ensure that everything is eco-friendly. All the food packages are BPA free, 100% biodegradable – I just tossed them into my green bin. All the tags are recyclable. I was very impressed that nothing goes to the landfill.
I usually make all my baby food. I have just found that i've been so busy, i haven't been able to keep up with the fresh produce, and keeping the fridge and freezer full of fresh pureed food. Infant Organics really filled a gap for our family. We feel good knowing that Cole is getting healthy food with all the nutrients he needs for his growing brain and body. It's as easy as defrosting and warming up! For a busy mom like me, Infant Organics has filled a gap in helping to provide a healthy alternative to my homemade food, when I don’t have time to shop and cook. Make sure you stop by to check them out online at www.infant-organics.com or at their store 300 Randall Street, Oakville.

We saw them at the Harvest Festival last week and bought some of the homemade organic cakes (which were so delicious!) I'll have to stop by the store next week.
Thank you so much for the great review! We're working very hard to try and make life as easy and stress-free for young parents and families alike. We believe organic food should not be price prohibitive, but readily accessible to everyone who wants it. Once you've tasted organic, it's hard to go back!
