Once Upon a Farm
|
Once Upon a Farm Kiddo Meals are processed using High-Pressure Processing, which uses pressure instead of heat to kill off any potentially harmful ingredients. This process also allows for more nutrient-dense food. Further, the brands that are currently on the shelves usually contain a large percentage of water, fillers, sugars, and preservatives,which take away from the natural state of the food. This in turn takes away from optimal nutrition for babies, since optimal absorption of nutrients occurs when food is in its most natural state. | $52M / Series D / Mar 09, 2022 | |

Nulo is at home in the epicenter of a hip, active and pet-loving community where they enjoy seeing pet parents get out with their favorite four-footed friends.Their company started when their founders, who have a long history in professional pet care and education, began to see an escalation in overweight pets and the administration of at-homeinsulin shots for diabetic cats and dogs.Nulo set out to be a different kind of pet food company with no short cuts and using only the finest natural ingredients. Along with some of the brightest minds in the pet food industry, they began creating unique recipes using fresh chicken, lamb and salmon and paired them with yummy things like apples, carrots, lentils, and sweet potato. They also made a promise to keep Nulo products the freshest recipes you’ll ever find on the store shelf or to arrive at your door. Their blends are made and distributed in smaller batches to ensure they spend less time on the shelf and taste better when they land in the bowl. Good pet nutrition should be simple and Nulo is proud to live up to their promise of keeping pets active and healthy for years to come. | $9.5M / Apr 29, 2016 | |
