Thank you to all of our fans and supporters in 2009.  Sprout is growing and improving every day and we have our customers to thank.  Thanks to everyone who called and wrote emails and comments and told us what you think.  Our goal is to be the best you have ever tasted! Max and Tyler and the whole Sprout Gang wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year for 2010.

We always love hearing from our customers.  We get emails every day from happy moms and dads.  It has made us curious which flavors are all time favorites.  I asked around the office (we eat a lot of baby food, it’s yummy!) to see if I could find out personal favorites.  My favorite (Jillian) is Roasted Bananas & Mango, which, by the way, is excellent blended with some ice as a smoothie!  Max the CEO is partial to Roasted Apples & Blueberries (he eats it daily, what a healthy snack!), Jack likes Sweet Baby Carrots, Apples & Mango, Dan’s favorite is the Pasta with Lentil Bolognese, and last but not least, Collin votes for Baked Sweet Potatoes & White Beans (”It tastes like I could have it for Thanksgiving”, he said).  What are your family’s favorites?

Hey everyone,

We are so proud to announce we are available almost everywhere!  Besides the list of stores you see in our “Where To Buy” section of the website, with new additions like Whole Foods, Wegman’s, Meijer’s and Raley’s, you will soon see our products showing up on www.diapers.com!

Please be patient as these stores start to stock their shelves.  We are delivering to the stores, but it will take a little bit of an adjustment period for the store to all get their shelves set.  It is best to call your local store to see if they have yet stocked their shelves with Sprout Baby Food!

So I just wanted to say that I appreciate everyone who calls and writes us here at Sprout.  When you do, you are not getting some far-away call center in a far off land, you are getting the office, the real office, and we love hearing from you.  I have a real common question I get asked: “Why doesn’t my Publix or HEB have all the recipes you have on the website?” Well, it is up to the stores (and upper management/buyers) to decide.  We don’t control that part of it (wish we did).  The best way to see a change in the availability in your store is to let them know about it! You can call the store and ask to speak to the baby food buyer, or when you are in the store ask to speak to the store manager. These guys will hopefully send the message up the chain.  Thanks again for all your great comments!

Everybody’s back home from our successful tour of Texas!  Many of you came to see and hear Tyler at his store appearances in San Antonio, Austin and Dallas.  Thanks for all the support!  We will continue to get out and see all of you face to face in the future.  Our food is now available in Publix stores located throughout Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.  We will have the store locator updated shortly.  In the meantime, if your local store doesn’t carry Sprout, let them know you would like them to!

Welcome to Sprout’s Blog!  We are busy getting ready to travel to San Antonio, Dallas and Austin.   Tyler Florence will be making some HEB and Central Market store appearances in these cities.  For details, see Tyler’s page on our website.  Tyler will also be at the Healthy Baby Expo in the Alamo Dome on March 14th and 15, details are also on his page.  We will have book signings in some of these locations of Tyler’s most recent cookbooks Stirring the Pot and Dinner at My Place, and we will be sampling Sprout’s baby food.  Please come to say hello and tell us about your experiences!
