North Reading Mom Launches Organic Baby Food Company

Sarah Washburn worked with another mom to launch an organic baby food delivery company.

North Reading mom Sarah Washburn worked with another mom, Bridget Tivnan, to launch an organic baby food delivery company this year. They provide homemade quality purees for babies, saving parents time in the kitchen.

Washburn and Tivnan were driven by wanting to feed their own babies the most nutritious food possible. Spending time in the kitchen to make food purees to avoid food that comes in a jar was taking time away from raising their little ones. In order to help other parents with the same problem, they started their company, Purely Pears organic baby food delivery.

Purely Pears aims to provide fresh, organic, homemade and age appropriate purees to Boston area parents. The food, by moms for moms, is delivered directly to their daycares, homes, or work environments.

“A lot of busy parents aren’t certain which foods their children should be eating at which stage,” Washburn said in a recent press release. “We’ve worked with nutritionists to ensure that the purees we are delivering to customers are meeting the developmental and nutritional needs of their babies.”

Both moms work in their commercial kitchen in Malden to prep, steam or roast, puree and then package the food. So far, it's going really well, Washburn told Patch.
