Sweet Cheeks Baby Food is made locally in Saint Paul, Minnesota of organic and local (in season) fruits and vegetables. Owner Lori Karis works directly with a small family organic farm in Northfield, Minnesota as well as with Whole Grain Milling from Welcome, Minnesota, and supplements ingredients from Mississippi Market, with the goal of being a completely local product. Sweet Cheeks is made fresh weekly and sold frozen.

Lori has been a professional nanny for over twenty three years and has always made her own baby food for her charges. She is passionate about helping to raise healthy children. Organic baby food ensures that the produce and grains have been grown without pesticides, chemicals, or genetic modification. Lori lives and cooks in Saint Paul and is licensed by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.

Sweet Cheeks Baby Food has three levels of food for new eaters. "Newbies" are single, easily digested fruits and vegetables. "Combos" introduce a bit of texture and a mix of veggies, fruits and grains. The final level is the "Baby 'Role," that is, a baby casserole. A tasty combination of vegetables are simmered together, pureed and then combined with grains until chunky. The result is spoonable, tasty and healthy. The Baby 'Role is ideal for toddlers learning to feed themselves.

While not certified organic, Sweet Cheeks Baby Food is a product the Wedge believes in, because it sources local, organic product whenever possible. We're impressed that parents have the option of supporting their children's health and local farmers simultaneously with Sweet Cheeks.
