Organic Food For Infants

(Post: English)
" When Dori Boneck began making organic food for her newborn, Madeleine, in 2006, she decided other mothers might want to feed their little ones the same thing - without the hassle of cooking up meals themselves. "

So last May the former elementary school teacher launched Maddy's Organic Meals (M.O.M), the first USDA Certified Organic product for children in the Midwest.

Boneck and her husband, Carson, produce and package the meals in a professional cooking space they rent in Chicago. Each 8 oz. package costs about $6.

There's Perfect Pears for four-month-olds, for instance, or Scrumptious Succotash for eight-month-olds.

Maddy's is sold at the Goddess & Grocer and other markets in town and, since February, can be ordered through the company's Web site.

PRODUCT INFO:
* All M.O.M products are USDA Certified Organic and adhere to the highest organic processing standards.

* All of our meals are prepared shortly after harvest and then flash-frozen ensuring superior taste and nutritional value.

* M.O.M uses ingredients grown in the heartland, on Midwestern certified organic farms practicing sustainable farming methods.

* No harmful pesticides that can block a child's absorption of nutrients.

* No preservatives, fillers or additives.
