BERKELEY, Calif., April 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Once Upon a Farm™, the mission-driven brand known for bringing organic, farm-fresh nutritious snacks and meals to families, is continuing its WIC™ expansion adding California to its growing list of state approvals. With this approval, Once Upon a Farm’s Baby Food Bowls are now WIC-authorized in 20 states nationwide making it easier than ever for parents enrolled to access fresh, organic baby food for their little ones.

WIC is the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC™) and provides federal grants to States for supplemental foods, health care referrals and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age five who are found to be at nutritional risk.

A First-of-Its Kind Achievement

Once Upon a Farm Baby Food Bowls hold a distinction as the first and only line of organic, refrigerated baby food to be eligible under the WIC program. The commitment to raising the standard for childhood nutrition and proving that fresh, nutritious, baby food isn’t just possible but accessible is in Once Upon a Farm’s DNA.

Making Childhood Nutrition Healthier, Happier and More Equitable

By earning WIC authorization across 20 states, Once Upon a Farm is removing barriers that have historically made it difficult to find baby food that is refrigerated, organic, non-GMO, with no added sweeteners and free from artificial flavors and colors.
