August 2025 Baby Food Pouch Testing: Once Upon A Farm
August 21, 2025
Hello! I just shared the text below (along with the image above) on Facebook. I will also be sharing this image on Instagram, and wanted to publish it here as well so I can share this single link (providing all the information in one place) with our 102,000+ Instagram followers (since it’s tricky to share links on Instagram). Hopefully you all will find the links below helpful, too (especially the links to the testing and reporting we have already conducted for this brand).
If you are financially in a position to make a contribution ($5, $10, $25 — whatever you can afford) supporting one of the four not-yet-funded Once Upon A Farm Baby Food Pouch Testing Campaigns linked below (only if a contribution would not present any hardship for you), it would be greatly appreciated and your gift in helping cover the costs of testing and reporting these baby foods will help a LOT of families. We are hoping to finish raising funds for the first two campaigns in the next day or two so we can publish those lab reports ASAP.
Thank you.

Patreon gifts help bridge the gap in our funding and cover the costs of the laboratory testing and reporting we organize, making it possible for us to continue testing products quickly!
