About Us
Little Spoon is the direct-to-consumer brand on a mission to make parenting easier and kids healthier. We meet the needs of the modern parent through healthy, high quality, transparent and affordable products designed for every milestone.
We started with first bites and the idea that a baby's food should never be older than the baby, disrupting a century-old industry with our Babyblends. In response to the needs of our community, we introduced Plates, a first-of-its kind line of healthy and fun meals for toddlers and big kids. Most recently, we debuted Smoothies, organic, cold-pressed and craveable snacks for kids of all ages. And with some exciting product launches on the horizon, we're on our way to becoming the first and only one-stop-shop built exclusively for parents.
In just four years, we've amassed a loyal and engaged community that fuels our growth and plays a vital role in everything we do. That's why Little Spoon is the fastest growing baby and kids food brand in the US, having delivered nearly 15 million meals to families nationwide.
