DURHAM -- Driven by the desire to provide nutritious food for babies, Whitby-based entrepreneur Tanya Moore is taking her business to a new level.
Healthy Sprouts, a line of organic baby food launched by Ms. Moore in late 2004, will now be available in mainstream grocery stores -- such as A and P and Dominion -- throughout Ontario and Quebec.
“To finally have Healthy Sprouts on the shelves was a huge accomplishment,” she said of her initial launch into specialized stores in May 2006. “The next step was to sell it into retailers at the health food level, educate consumers on both the benefits of frozen organic baby food and build awareness to drive customers to the frozen section.”
Healthy Sprouts organic baby food is harvested, pureed and frozen quickly to lock in nutrients and flavours, she said. It is available in portioned cups containing the average amount of food required for each age group.
Ms. Moore started the company after her own frustrations with finding a quality baby food on the market for her children. With her first son, Ms. Moore made her own baby food -- but found it near impossible to find the time to do the same once she had two children.
An ambitious entrepreneur, Ms. Moore says the experience has thus far been challenging, but also rewarding and exciting. To have the product available in grocery stores is a dream come true.
“It will provide a much better service for those customers who just simply can’t find the time to stop into a local health food store with their baby and provide more exposure for this great brand,” she said.
