A native Arkansan, I have a strong love for our
resources: meandering rivers, the array of native plant and tree species, rich history, unique culture, people, people, and people.  The people of our region are unparalleled; we are friendly, down to earth, and know good stuff when we come across it.

I come from a long line of good cooks who know good food.  My grandmothers' southern faire is not to be forgotten.  Several women in my family have had restaurants, catering businesses, and have written cookbooks.  We like to crank up the oven and bring out the table linens.  Making wholesome (and somewhat fancy) baby foods is a natural fit for me.

In addition to food, agriculture runs in my veins.  I
am fourth generation on my family's Arkansas farm. 
I have a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Soil and Water Science and a master's degree in Agricultural Economics, both from the University of Arkansas.  My husband has a bachelor’s and a master's degree in Animal Science from the University of Arkansas and works with local farmers and ranchers.  We live on his family's farm in Washington County, Arkansas, where we raise cattle, a large vegetable garden, and our sweet little baby girl, Lucy.

Like several young women I know in Northwest Arkansas and around the region, I am a new mom.  Just like these moms, I want only the very best for my little punkin' pie.  I've researched the jarred and frozen baby food options available to us and decided that, while they may be safe and contain many of the nutritive aspects our babies need, they're just not good enough.  

Our fresh ingredients are grown by regional farming families who keep detailed records; my team and I clean and chop these ingredients by hand, bake and steam them, use my recipes to puree and mix up fantastic foods for your baby, package the foods, and send them to your grocer's freezer case.

I hope you'll be as pleased with our foods as our current parents are.  We have a money back guarantee if you're not satisfied with our product.  Please don't hesitate to contact me; I am your neighbor after all. 

From my kitchen to yours,

Fran Free Gunsaulis
