6. The Bottom Line

Both companies prioritize fresh, organic ingredients. Little Spoon offers a wider variety, with over 30 unique blends, including allergy and dietary restriction options. Once Upon a Farm focuses more on fruit and veggie purees, which can be great for introducing new tastes but may not offer the same level of variety as Little Spoon.

Little Spoon offers a range of textures in their baby food and refrigerated pouches, encouraging babies to explore different consistencies, from smooth purees to more textured blends with grains and spices. In contrast, Once Upon a Farm primarily provides smooth purees, which might limit sensory experiences for your little one.

Little Spoon simplifies mealtimes with options for every stage of your child’s development. They start with Babyblends organic purees, then progress to cut-to-size toddler meals called Biteables for self-feeding and Plates for balanced toddler and big kid meals. Lunchers cater to older kids with healthy, adventurous flavors. Little Spoon offers innovative snacks like meltable Puffs and Apple Pie Oat Bakes with hidden vegetables.

Once Upon a Farm also delivers frozen meals aimed more at toddlers, including pasta, grains, and veggie-based bowls. However, it doesn’t offer the same range of options for different developmental stages and is less customizable.

Both brands deliver pre-portioned meals to your doorstep. However, Little Spoon has a customer care team of fellow parents certified in Childhood Nutrition and available for 1:1 consultations if needed! Once Upon A Farm does not offer this 1:1 customer experience, and the menu is a bit more challenging for busy parents to navigate.

Little Spoon and Once Upon a Farm have meal options for toddlers and big kids. However, Little Spoon’s menus are way more flavor-focused, with present and hidden veggies. Their Mac and Three Cheese is made with hidden butternut squash and carrots, and their Chicken Super Nuggets have kale, carrots, and cauliflower inside. This makes their meals much more exciting for picky and adventurous eaters. Once Upon a Farm’s menu has much more straightforward foods that offer less flavor and fun.

While Once Upon a Farm offers a solid selection of purees and snacks, Little Spoon‘s wider variety, flavor, personalization, and commitment to growing with your child make it a compelling choice. From exciting flavors and healthy snacks to toddler-friendly meals, Little Spoon provides a more comprehensive journey for your little one’s taste buds and dietary needs.
