BERKELEY, Calif. , April 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Once Upon a Farm™, the mission-driven brand known for bringing organic, farm-fresh nutritious snacks and meals to families, is continuing its WIC™ expansion adding California to its growing list of state approvals. With this approval, Once Upon a Farm's Baby Food Bowls are now WIC-authorized in 20 states nationwide making it easier than ever for parents enrolled to access fresh, organic baby food for their little ones.
WIC is the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC™) and provides federal grants to States for supplemental foods, health care referrals and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age five who are found to be at nutritional risk.
A First-of-Its Kind Achievement
Once Upon a Farm Baby Food Bowls hold a distinction as the first and only line of organic, refrigerated baby food to be eligible under the WIC program. The commitment to raising the standard for childhood nutrition and proving that fresh, nutritious, baby food isn't just possible but accessible is in Once Upon a Farm's DNA.
Making Childhood Nutrition Healthier, Happier and More Equitable
Once Upon a Farm's participation in the WIC program reflects the company's mission to shape the future of food. A passion project from the beginning, Jennifer Garner, Co-Founder at Once Upon a Farm, reflects on this milestone. "We believe that every child deserves the best possible nutrition in their most critical early years. WIC authorization in California brings us one important step closer to that vision."
A True Parent's Ally
At its heart, Once Upon a Farm is built not only for children but to support parents, caregivers and families in making it easier to choose fresh, nutritious options they can feel good about. By earning WIC authorization across 20 states, Once Upon a Farm is removing barriers that have historically made it difficult to find baby food that is refrigerated, organic, non-GMO, with no added sweeteners and free from artificial flavors and colors. Those enrolled in WIC will no longer have to choose between convenience and quality, they can have both.
