Terms like growth hormones, pesticides and antibiotics can sound really intimidating — especially when it comes to feeding your baby. This is a real and growing concern today for many families and many are choosing to buy organic foods as a means to control what enters our bodies when we eat. Organic foods have become increasingly popular over the past few years, and as a result, they are often readily available in most supermarkets and grocery stores. If you buy, or are considering buying, organic foods, here is some very important information that you should know before you go to the store.
What “Organic” Really Means.
Here is the definition, according to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA):
“Organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations. Organic meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products come from animals that are given no antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation. Before a product can be labeled organic, a Government-approved certifier inspects the farm where the food is grown to make sure the farmer is following all the rules necessary to meet USDA organic standards. Companies that handle or process organic food before it gets to your local supermarket or restaurant must be certified, too.”
Understanding Organic Food Labels.
There are basically 3 different organic labels that have been approved by the USDA. Make sure that you understand the differences in these labels so you know what you are really buying.
- 100% Organic: Must contain 100% organic ingredients.
- Organic: Must contain at least 95% organic ingredients.
- Made With Organic Ingredients: Contains at least 70% organic ingredients.
Pesticides on Produce.
You should know that organic farms are allowed to use pesticides. Pesticides are mixtures of chemicals that are used on farms to prevent or destroy weeds, pests and disease from damaging crops. The law says that organic farmers can use pesticides, as long as they are derived from natural sources. This may be surprising and a little alarming to anyone who is concerned about chemicals on their food. Rest assured, though, that although natural pesticides are not perfect, organic produce still has less pesticide residue than conventionally grown produces.
Picking and Choosing the Best Organic Buys.
Some families choose to pay the higher prices and choose to pick up all organic produce when they go grocery shopping. However, it may not be a practical option for every family. If the grocery store prices are too high, try checking out your local farmer’s market. Farmers markets can be a great resource for locally grown, organic produce at a lower price. Not only do many local farmers practice organic farming, but they usually sell their own produce at the markets and are available to answer any questions. Don’t be shy! Ask them about their farming methods, if they use pesticides, and if so, what kinds. Many small farms cannot afford to pay to become certified organic, but they usually have signs telling you that they farm organic or grow chemical-free produce.
Another thing to consider is that whether or not your produce is organic, washing it well in cold water can eliminate much of the pesticide residue left behind on your produce. Here is a list of the 12 fruits and vegetables that have been found to contain the highest amounts of pesticides on them and also a list of the 15 cleanest fruits and vegetables (non-organic with minimal to no pesticide residue).
The Dirty Dozen:
- Apples
- Celery
- Peaches
- Strawberries
- Spinach
- Nectarines (imported)
- Grapes (imported)
- Sweet bell peppers
- Potatoes
- Blueberries
- Lettuce
- Kale or collard greens
The Clean 15:
- Onions
- Sweet corn
- Pineapple
- Avocados
- Asparagus
- Sweet peas
- Mangoes
- Eggplant
- Cantaloupe
- Kiwi
- Cabbage
- Watermelon
- Sweet potatoes
- Grapefruit
- Mushrooms

We buy almost all organic foods (for sure any produce where we’re eating the skin). It’s a family tradition to head to the local Farmer’s Market on Saturday’s. We do our shopping for the week and get big cinnamon rolls and freshly squeezed lemonade from one of the vendors. I love it!

I LOVE farmers markets and local farm stands. I also find fresh organic produce. Now that I have a little one (5 months old) i’m more interested in organic produce. We are starting solids soon and the farmers markets are the perfect place to find fresh, organic produce for him.

We loooove our local farmers’ markets! They make grocery shopping fun and they have been able to watch my son grow. It’s great to be able to know the growers on a personal level. I’ve been making his baby food from market produce only and he’s absolutely loving it!

I would love to win this! We currently stick to the “Dirty Dozen” shopping list for organic groceries. If I find organic produce, that isn’t on the Dirty Dozen, if it is the same price I buy that as well. We plan to feed our little guy organic baby food, when possible, when the time comes!

Our weekly routine includes visiting several local farmer’s markets. Every penny we spend is worth it in the flavor, quality and knowing exactly where our food comes from.

I look forward to the arrival of my first baby and the time when husband and I introduce yummy fruits & veggies to him!

Where I live, organic products are few and far between. But if I happen to be where they are more available, I’m definitely looking forward to purchasing it.

I would LOVE to win this because my baby is being introduced to foods now and this would help so much since it would allow me to give him the best!!
I love to buy organic for my family whenever possible! Would love to win this- thank you!

We only buy from a local farmer during the summer. This way I know where it all is coming from and how they grow their foods.
I’m a mommy to be and want nothing but the best choices in feeding for my little one. This would be a perfect gift, because I definitely plan on feeding my baby organic natural choices!!! Eating healthy is easy through my pregnancy seeing how that’s all I crave, besides seven eleven slurpees! Crossing my fingers >.<
I love going to the farmers market
We go to the farmers market every weekend. It is great to buy food fresh and local. I’m thinking of joining our local CSA to get even more fresh produce.
My baby only like homemade food. This would make my life easier
I’m a new mom and my son who just turned 4 months is already showing signs of his interest in solid food. This is one chapter of my mommyhood that I am very excited about! With the help of these storage and the very handy blender, it wouldn’t take so much of my time to prepare sumptuous food for my little bundle of joy. I’m pretty sure that with the various choices of organic food in our neighborhood market, it would be easy to always supply him with nutritious, healthy and safer food choices. I really hope I can win this product to help me in this new journey! :)
We try to go to the farmer’s market at least once a month. We are good about buying organic spinach & greens, but not so great about fruits like strawberries.
I definitely buy the organic “dirty dozen” produce. I try to buy as much organic as I can to stay away from harmful pesticides, but I also acknowledge that there are some fruits ad veggies that aren’t so bad if the organic version is not on sale or not available. I buy at both the grocery store and local farmers markets in the summertime. I’m lucky enough to live in an area where there are farmers markets almost every day of the week during the summer months.
Thank you for the information. We are getting ready to add in some baby food….and I need all the info I can get! I would LOVE to have this Puree System! I am sure it will be wonderful because I have yet to find anything from Dr. Brown’s that isn’t! :)

We have two local farmers markets but it’s a little confusing because not all of the stands advertise that they are organic or sometimes only half of their produce is organic.
I buy organic produce when I’m making baby food.

Would love this!!!
I shop for all our fruits and vegetables weekly at our local farmers market, and pay special attention to buy only from local farmers who have actually grown or purchase from other farmers they know to bring the most variety to the market. I know what is in season and growing here locally and those are the items I purchase and plan my meals around! I also make all of my daughters baby food, can and make jams and jellies! I have my own garden and after several years or experimenting know what grows well in our soil/area and grow these items for my families consumption ….sharing any over abundance with family and friends!
I think it would be awesome to have this to prepare my baby’s food.

There is no where better to shop for food than our farmers market!

We try to buy organic greens and other produce that tends to make a big difference
I love organic produce and go to farmers markets at every chance I get!
Great information on understanding organic food labels. I also I like the “dirty dozen” list & the “clean 15″ list, I’ll definitely be saving that information for future grocery shopping trips. We just started our baby on baby food so it would be great to have the blender to make his food versus buying it so we know exactly what’s going into it.
Perfect gift for my daughter who has 6 children!
We love the farmers markets and we would love this blender!
I have been buying organic food for my baby but not knowing too much about it. Haven’t really been to farmers market though, usually buy from supermarket. Thanks for the info, will check out farmers market later.
Oh…and it will be great if i can win the blender too….:-)
I absolutely adore farmers markets!!!!
I do shop at farmers markets because I love fresh foods for my family and I but ive never bought organic and with a toddler and new baby I really should give it a try. Our kids are the future
We go to the Farmer’s Market every Saturday morning as a family. The kids love helping to pick out our yummy fruits and veggies that we then eat that week- it’s the best!
this is nice i would love to win this
I love making my own baby food. This would be great to have. I am lucky to have friends with gardens who share their bounty!
This would be so great for my 4th son. We buy organics for the family & love being able to feed him what we’re having. :) Thanks either way for the chance.
We would love to have this.
Grow as much at home as you can. that way you know exactly what’s in your or on your food.
I LOVE farmers markets and local farm stands. I also find fresh organic produce. Now that I have a little one (5 months old) i’m more interested in organic produce. We are starting solids soon and the farmers markets are the perfect place to find fresh, organic produce for him.
I would love to win this!
Love farmers markets but because of the,area I live in the items are only available for a short period of time.
We are CSA members of an organic farm and love every ounce of the farmers market! It is the main way we purchase produce during the growing season. This would be an awesome way to share our eats with our son!
Thanks for the 2 lists. Hoping to win.
Would love to win thins! I’ll be starting my 4.5 month old on solids pretty soon…what better way to do it than by going the organic route! Thanks for the tips!
This would be perfect for my family as we grow most of our own produce! It would make making healthy food for our little girl so much easier.
My baby is getting older, but I still think this would be a great item to win! My fingers are crossed!
love the farmers market and our backyard!
We have recently changed over to organic and love going to the farmers market right down the road.
Having 5 special needs kids I am trying to shop better and actually buy my son organic fruit snacks because he has red dye allergies and most things Ive found organic dont contain dyes. My babies (triplets) have been thriving on the Dr. Brown’s Bottles. We are just starting to do baby foods. So they will get some of the same organic things that their big brothers get.
So excited for the stackable storage! I love being able to make my own baby food to control the pesticides and preservatives.
I would love to win this for my sweet boys!
I’ve been to a farmer’s market and love them. I buy organic whenever possible.
I buy organic as much as possible and visit our local farmer’s market.
I can’t wait to start making my own baby food!
Love farmer’s markets!
I love to buy organic produce when its on sale, it makes me feel great. But thats the catch even the sale prices are more than regular. You would think by having these companies use no chemicals would save them and us money. I have never been to a farmers market! hopefully this season
I don’t go out of my way to buy organic. Only been to a farmers market couple times.
I try and buy organic when it comes to the dirty dozen list..it can be very expensive if you are on a food budget.
Love shopping my local farmers market – cooking fresh makes all the difference in taste!
I buy organic apples and get more fruits and veggies from our local downtown farmers market. Organic can be so expensive so I do have to limit how much I buy.
I do buy organic food. Where I live there isn’t much of a farmers market but I’d love to live in Charleston, SC, someday and they have a fabulous one!
This would be awesome to have for my daughter and one on the way!
I buy some organic products.
would love one of these sets for my new grandbaby due any day now. thanks.
I love to go to farmers market. I often visit one we have Sunday morning in the village.
Yes, we try to buy organic when it avail. yes I do buy at Farmers Market’s .
thank you for giveaway ,I am enjoying my blender .I would like to win to give as gift at Baby Shower to get the baby started on eating healthy.
I can’t wait for the farmers market to open here! My baby boys and I would love to have this to make our own baby food :)
I’ve been making my own baby food, so I do try to buy organic on the berries, greens, etc. We have started to go to Farmer’s Markets and my son loves all the colors and sites and ability to sample
I buy organic from the farmers market but sometimes I get what’s on sale at the supermarket. Buying organic all the time isn’t cheap!
We do buy organic when we can and love farmer’s markets!!!
Thank you for doing this giveaway. Fingers Crossed that you pick me we could really use this.
Thanks,
Zarah
We dont go specifically to a farmers market but in the rural area we live it there are lots of road side stands that sell homegrown goodies.
I would love this for my Gbaby and at the same time join and teach our next generation to start eating healthy in an attempt to eliminate obesity in US which will only eventually provoke one being unhealthy.
I love shopping at farmers markets. Not only do you get organic fruits and vegis – you also get so much more fresh produce. Delicious!
Thank you,
Lauren
My 5 month old daughter is wanting to try everything I eat and this would be the perfect tool to let her try some of the fruits and veggies that are otherwise off limits. She already has a very good appetite and I would love to have this in order to keep her eating healthy and pure.
A farmer’s market just opened in my hometown, near my parents, so we visit as often as we can. When we shop, we try to opt for the organic versions of our favorite fruits and veggies, too!
We buy from local farmer’s markets. I now only buy organic at the grocery store if it is on the dirty dozen list. We would love to win this blender and storage items!
Hints and Tips for Farmer’s Markets Shopping
Take Your Time
Have fun browsing! I like to make a slow loop around the market, making note of stands of special interest, before I begin buying. Of course, that doesn’t mean I don’t buy a fresh filled croissant or some raspberries to munch on as I stroll around!
Bring Cash
Cash is the easiest currency. However, did you know that many farmer’s markets in the United States participate in a WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) Farmers Market Nutrition Program? If your family qualifies, you can receive coupons good at farmer’s markets that help supplement your meals. And local farmers benefit too. That’s definitely a win-win situation.
Bring Containers and Shopping Bags
Although some farmer’s market vendors have bags and boxes, it’s easiest if you bring your own reusable bags with handles. You are contributing to the most basic recycling and environmental causes by using cloth and string bags, besides buying local, most likely organically grown produce.
Ask Questions
Make sure to ask questions of the vendors when you see unfamiliar produce. I learned about edamame, or fresh soybeans, last year at the St. Paul’s farmers market and they have become a favorite addition to my meals in summertime. Vendors and farmers love to share their knowledge and can even give you recipes and cooking tips.
Dress Comfortably
Wear walking shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. Most farmer’s markets are open rain or shine, so be prepared with sunscreen and collapsible umbrellas; and watch the weather! If you take your children, make sure you have supplies, a stroller, and drinks for them. Involve them in the process too, and they will become more interested in fresh produce and meal preparation.
Go Early
There’s nothing better than strolling through a fragrant and colorful farmer’s market early on a late summer morning. The sights, smells, and sounds are incredibly beautiful. You’ll find the best selection if you show up early too.
Go Late
Just before closing time, you’ll find some of the best deals, because vendors don’t want to take their wares back home. But remember that the selection will be limited at this time, and some vendors may be sold out.
Bring Coolers
Make sure to have coolers with ice packs in your car, or take the produce straight home to keep it fresh and at its peak.
Experiment!
Don’t be afraid to try something new. Have fun! You’ll probably discover a few favorite fruit, vegetable, plant, flower, bread or cheese that will make your summer even richer and sweeter.
I go to the farmer’s market here every week.
In addition to markets, farmers use other methods to sell food, including:
CSA (community supported agriculture). Members purchase shares in a farmer’s crop before the season begins and are provided a portion of the harvest all season long. Please visit our CSA page for information on exactly what this type of agriculture is and to locate CSA programs around the country.
Farm stands. Farm stands range from a bench with tomatoes alongside the road to an enclosed structure that sells many types of produce, meats and even baked and processed foods. During the height of the summer when vegetables are abundant, you can still find small stands at the side of the road with vegetables and a cash jar, so customers can pay what they want. Large farm stands can resemble stores and do not always sell local goods — check the labels or ask if you aren’t sure.
“Pick your own” farms. Some farmers, especially berry and orchard growers, allow consumers to pick their own produce. Usually for a set price by the bushel or pint, families can go into the farmer’s fields and pick their own crops. This is good for individuals interested in freezing or canning. Some farms also allow consumers to come to the farm and choose which animal they would like, before slaughter.
If you know a bit of what to expect when you get to the farmers market, making decisions at each stall is much easier. Learn what grows in your area when and talk to the growers about what will be coming to market in upcoming weeks.
Absolutely love farmer’s markets!
We do buy organic produce! From our neighbors! They plant enough for themselves, and then some. I always stop buy and purchase fresh tomatoes, peaches, cucumber, organic homemade jams and jellies, apples, pumpkins, and more!

We love our farmers market!! I try to purchase organic veggies and fruits from the dirty dozen list.., we have an amazing local blueberry farm we go to every year. Delish!!
This looks awesome!
I do buy organic. Very helpful information!!!
i am about to start rice cereal and purees for my baby girl. i like to shop from farmers markets and locally grown produce. i am going to start making my own baby food soon and this would be great!
This would be great to have to make our son’s organic food with who is due any day now!!
I can not go to the Farmers Market because it is held when I am working. Our local Organic Farmers provide a monthly program. They supply us bi-weekly with Organic Produce. It is wonderful and we have even tried many new vegtables that we might not have if not for the service.
My husband and I have started eating organic and we would love this to make our son’s food too! Thanks so much!
i always buy organic fruits and veggies, i would love to win
I buy somethings organic, and will print this list to go by! We have an awesome organic farmer’s market here that we love!!
We love to go to the Farmer’s Market and get organic produce! I would love to win this for my baby!
My baby just turned 6 months, and I am going to try to start making her baby food!
This would be great in making baby food!
Every weekend, we go to our farmer’s market. I have found stuff that is not available in any store…it is cheaper and fresher there.
When it comes to Organic — We have few farmers with organic products…I love being there.
I LOVE Farmer’s Markets. I love being able to get fresh veggies from trusted growers in my community. We also plant a garden yearly and can some of our own veggies. I would LOVE to win the Puree & Simple blender, it would be very helpful with baby #2.
I sometimes buy organic produce, but I wish they were cheaper. I also get scared to buy organic produce because I’ve seen on TV that the produce could come from countries where they can label organic but they’re in fact not organic. I love farmers market too, but I’ve also seen a news story of a vendor at the market selling non-organic produce as organic and selling at higher price. The vendor also said at the market he’s a local farmer, but the news reporter found that the farm didn’t exist. Stories like that just make me wonder what to believe. My friends are organic lovers and tell me organic produce have more nutrients but I’ve seen on TV there are no difference. I’ve also read on the internet that organic produce still have pesticide because pesticide get blown by the wind. I’d love to provide the best care for my baby who just turned 8 months but the decision making to buy organic is rather hard especially when our budget is so tight…
I shop at the local farmers market for me and husband. I can’t wait for our little one to get here so I can make him his own baby food when he is ready.
I think Dr. Brown’s products are the best. I can honestly say they are the only ones able to help my son. TY DR Brown!!
Would love this as I make all of my son’s baby food. :)
Would love to have this for our own garden veggies we can turn into baby food for our daughter!
When in season, we buy everything we can from local farm stands and farmers markets. When we can’t get if from the local farmers, we have a wonderful supermarket that sells a whole range of organic products. This has been such a life changing decision for our family to eat locally and organically.
Yes, I love to buy organic for my little one. We have a new farmer’s market in our area, and I’m excited to check it out! :)
I am somewhat familiar with the dirty dozen and try to buy organic on those. It costs more, but I can tell the difference. I have allergies to the pesticides and I can tell when I eat apples that are not organic!
This would be great to have for our baby. : )
We used to go to a Farmer’s Market every weekend, but now we only go once in a while since we joined a CSA (community supported agriculture). We love picking up our box from the greenhouse each week and seeing what fresh veggies we are getting!
I do most of my produce shopping at the farmers market. Most of what I buy is organic, but I’m proud to be supporting locally grown foods for all of our produce!
I love fresh and great things and now starting over after 9 years is my youngest baby. I want to have the best & give the best for my baby to be!
We love going to our local whole foods to shop even though it is more expensive, it helps us to eat clean and natural produce.
I love farmers markets! I try to buy organic when I can afford it, Im going to build a green house next summer and that will be organic.
I try to either grow my own veggies or utilize the farmer’s market nearby. After having stomach issues I puree lots of veggies for myself to eat.
Thank you for the chance to win! My daughter would LOVE this.She has a 8 month old and another one in the oven. ;)
We buy organic milk always since she drinks so much. Farmer markets are great to explore with kids.

This sounds so handy and useful
This would be so perfect for my granddaughter. She is almost one, but not teeth yet, and she has a great appetite. We sure could make alot of delicious foods for her with this.
We typically buy all of our produce organic, especially when we know our son will be eating it as well. We want our food to be as natural and wholesome as possible.

I don’t normally buy organic unless the cost is comparable to “regular” produce. I do try to buy local produce as often as I can get my hands on it.
I would love to have this!!! I will have 2 kids under the age 2 in sept this would come in handy!
We try to buy organic where we can-we have a great farmer’s market in our small town. Not the biggest selection, but it makes me feel good to know I am giving my child healthy food. This prize would be awesome for our second baby on the way!
Me Me ME

I go to our local Farmer’s Market every week to get local produce for my family. It’s a great experience meeting the people our food comes from. I would love this giveaway for my little one. I’m already making her food, so this blender would make it so much easier to give her some of our food blended up! ;-)
Would love to win this for our next child! Farmer’s market season is upon us – much better variety and so much better tasting than what you can normally get at the supermarket.
I would love to try this! it would make life a lot easier :)
I have bought organic to avoid pesticides. Farmers’ markets are a great way to buy and support local farmers.
This would be very nice to have.

i would use organic if our store had it and I do go to the farmers market
I buy when it’s on sale, but it’s so expensive, especially in the Midwest. We do have lovely farmer’s markets, but again, expensive. However, for my son, I will buy the best when possible and I will be making his own food for sure. Can’t wait. A couple more months and it’s on!
My baby will not eat the jar baby food. So I have to make homemade food.

We frequent the farmer’s market and buy organic when we can. We recently switched our 2 year old to Organic whole milk and there have been noticeable changes in him for the positive.
We buy as much organic produce as possible, but mainly from stores (like Whole Foods). Our local farmer’s markets are a little underwhelming and haven’t kept me wanting to go back. My baby and preschooler eat whatever the rest of the family is eating.
I get my organic veggies and fruits at my local farmers market. Living near Ithaca, NY it is easy to find organic produce. I try to buy as much organic as I can!

I would really like to win.
this would be so great to make Jasper’s food from our garden veggies!!

We buy all organic for our children, not always for ourselves though. I love farmer’s markets, but I think organic is more important that local and I am not always sure that the farmers there are using organic methods.

I’d love to win!

This would be AMAZING!
I do buy organic for my son and I’m due with my 2nd – June 16th and will do so again!
We buy organic produce whenever possible. We do have a local farmer’s market but we don’t visit it enough. We do buy strawberries from a neighboring farmer, though, and we’re also growing our own tomatoes and spinach. We also have chickens so we have organic, free range eggs.
I’d love to win!!!
As soon as my son was born I became more cautious our fruits and vegetables with pesticide, I buy organic when it is available. Thank you!

Thamk you for the information about what products are good to purchase as organic! I would really love to start making my own baby food at home and this product would be great!
I have tried to purchase as many organic foods that I can afford or are available to me especially after we had our children. This year, I have even started an organic vegetable garden so I can grow as much as I can myself and try to offset the rising cost of those organic products that I cannot grow. I am very excited and hopeful that my garden will be a success.
love it!
I go to the farmers market at least once a week. I love buying fresh produce and i love knowing that the food is fresh and all organic!

Although I am not due till December 6th with Baby #4, I have just recently made a change in our family and have switched to only organic foods and am trying to ensure my childrens’ health so that they may have long and happy lives.

I buy from the farmers market when possible
I would love to win this. Unfortunately, we do not buy organic due to cost. However, if it were at a more comparable price I would definitely buy organic. We do go to a Farmers Market close by our house every once in a while for fresh fruits and vegetables. My kids are pretty picky, so we let them pick out what they want to try. This would be great for baby #4!
We get an organic food box delivered twice a month. It’s like a CSA.
We try to go to the local farmer’s market once a week. The fruits and vegetables are fresher and often cheaper.

Have a 3 month old that will be eating solids in a few months so I would LOVE to win!!
I WOULD LOVE TO WIN THIS FOR MY DAUGHTER SHE HAS A 7 WEEK OLD BABY AND COULD REALLY USE IT. I THINK NATURAL FOODS ARE MUCH BETTER THAN JAR BABY FOODS.
I love our farmer’s market. I wish there was more there every week, but it’s usually something different every week. My infant loves eating what we eat and he loves eating fresh fruits and veggies! This would be fantastic for our family!
I buy organic meat, milk, fruits, vegetables for my family mostly at our local grocery stores. But I also buy organic fruits, vegetables and organic eggs at our local farmer markets; as well as, locally grown honey and homemade natural products.
This would be fantastic! Thanks:)
Great giveaway! Would love to win for my daughter expecting in August!
I love the farmer’s market and my baby starts solids in a month or so. I would love this!
Thank you so much for the dirty 15 list! It will make my decision process easier when deciding where to save on produce when I am not able to purchase everything organic.
I’ve been wanting one of these SO BAD!! I have a five month old little girl that’s been on solids for almost a month now and there’s never much to choose from at stores for her. I’d really love to mix things up for her and experiment with different kinds of foods and flavors! Awesome giveaway thank you!!
Our baby is due July 23rd! It’s a girl and will be our first!
I know how choosy I am with the foods I ingest, so I can only imagine how I’ll be with my baby!
The Puree and Simple Blender Blender and Food Storage Pods & Stackable Freezer Tray would be such a help!
most of the food i buy is organic
Yes,I buy organic to keep my family healthy and free of toxic elements found in modified foods. We love to shop the farmers markets on the weekends!!!!
Would love to win this for use with my son due in July!
I would love to win this for my baby. Love Dr. Brown’s
Great contest. Count me in, please. Thanks!
We’re having our first all organic garden vegie

I shop at farmer’s markets & buy organic as often as possible. Thanks for the great article.
We’re looking forward to our DD trying our vegies from the garden this summer! Her daddy did the garden this year just for her pretty much :)
We would love to win!!
love to win!
Excited to try my hand at making my baby food
I buy some organic fruits and veggies at the grocery store, especially when I was making a lot of home made baby food for my daughter. Unfortunately, we dont have a good farmers market. I wish we did, I would love to shop there!
would love to win this!
I buy organic occasionally when the price is right! I had earthbound farms coupons and bought carrots, sweet potatoes and baked potatoes. I have not been to a farmers market!
Would love to win this.
My 10 months old son loves fruits and veggies, so this would be a perfect tool to make his meals easy and fresh everyday. Good luck to everyone!
i buy organic when I can find it and its affordable enough. I do grow an all organic garden here at home. That helps a lot
My kids and I go to the farmers market whenever we can and they have a blast! When a market is not available to shop organic at the food store :)
Yes, I’ve tried to eat more organic food and use organic products after I was diagnosed with breast cancer while pregnant in 2010. I have tried local farmers markets as well.
I love all of DR.Brown product. I love to make my own baby food fresh from the garden this year can’t wait. love to win.
This prize would complete my kitchen collection!
Just bought kale for the first time yesterday, but not organic…this is so good to know!
love shopping at the farmers mkt !
I haven’t visited a farmers market since I have had my son. But when possible, i try to by organic products for him.
Alot of times he wants want i eat and those items are more than likely not organic.
He is 6 months with a healthy appetite!
I try as hard as possible to buy organic off of the dirty dozen list. I wish I could buy all organic, but it is so costly. Since I started eating organic apples and celery I can tell the difference and when I am served non organic I can taste the chemicals.
This would be nice to have.
I buy organic produce when: a) the price is cheaper or comparable then the non-organic produce, or b) the produce is an item that the outer layer gets eaten (ie. apples, pears) or if I am using the outer peel (ie. lemon zest)
Thank for this information on the dirty dozen. I love the farmers market and may buy there more often!
We live in a small farming town and always support our local farmers!
We try to buy organic produce when possible. Love farmers markets :)
I love shopping at the farmers market. The foods have less pesticides and such in them and they are cheaper than buying them at the grocery store.
All I buy is organic, for my older one, would love to puree some for my new little one once she can eat it.
I would love to win and try new products..
THIS WOULD BE TERRIFIC
Having baby #2… it would be nice to have this :)
I can’t afford to buy only organic, I stick with milk, eggs, apples and strawberries. I have only been a farmer’s market a couple of times.
I wash and rinse all produce. I also want to promote and support organic farming as well as gardening, landscaping and all lawncare.
I only buy organic fruits and vegetable for my baby since its great for his health and growth!! And i usually shop at the ” Sprouts” Organic
Market..
I took my 6 month old daughter to her first farmer’s market this week! We are excited to start introducing her to fruits and vegetables!
This would be awesome! I have decided with my second son I want to make all of his baby food!
My husband and I are trying to have a child and have been reading about all the bad things in babies foods and would love to help our child get ahead by being able to give them pure organic healthy foods. I love Dr. Brown products, we are using only their bottles and plan to use only Dr. Brown sippy cups, I would love to win, and look forward to trying for more things.
I am 18 years old and just had my first child…..a precious boy….born 3 weeks early. Still a tiny little one but as weeks go by is growing healthier and healthier. This would be an ideal way to introduce him to veggies when the time comes. Such an amazing idea! Thanks
I try to buy as much organic produce as possible. Sometimes it is hard to find certain things in my area-organic potatoes for example.
I don’t buy as much organic as some, but I found this list to be helpful!
This would be great!
My little Piggs and I could really put this to good use!
I would love to win this! We currently stick to the “Dirty Dozen” shopping list for organic groceries. If I find organic produce, that isn’t on the Dirty Dozen, if it is the same price I buy that as well. We plan to feed our little guy organic baby food, when possible, when the time comes!
We make all of our baby’s food using organic produce and he loves it!
there is nothing better than fresh veggies
It’s really too bad that only a few of the “dirty dozen” products are available as organic near us…I would love to be able to buy more organic produce…
Thanks for providing info on the dirty dozen. Will definitely keep this in mind when buying food for my little one. I am loving experimenting with all different fresh produce and love visiting the farmers market with my boy.
We are planting our 1st garden this year and are very excited! We would absolutely love to try your blender and products!!!
I would love to feed and prepare my kids food more heathyer then buying jar baby food from the store
I don’t generally buy organic food, but i’d like to start with my baby.
LOVE TO WIN FOR MY GREATGRAND CHILD
Love to win this for my baby girl!
I do buy organic for most of the fruits and veggies I cook up for my boy. Especially for those found on the “dirty dozen” list
We buy organic when it comes to our baby’s food and when possible always fresh – never frozen.
i would love to win, i have never been to a farmers market but want to go check it out!
Interesting…I have heard of the dirty 15…now that I have a kiddo, makes me pay attention a little more.
I have always told myself that I would love something like this whenever I had a baby and now already my baby boy will be eating solids in no time. I’m a super fanatic about eating healthy/organic foods and wanting the same for my baby and this would be a great way to help ensure I do the best for my LO:)

Yes! We try to buy Organic when it is available at our store. And once a month my town has a Farmer’s Market which we love to go to, my 2 year old loves sampling from all of the booths. We have been so lucky because he loves to eat a variety of healthy foods and always has loved his vegetables. We would love to win =)

I’d love to win! Baby number 2 is due this month, and I’d like to be able to prepare her food myself.

I work at Whole Foods & have come to appreciate organic integrity and buy local/organic whenever I can..
I love farmers markets! The Army moved us to Fort Jackdon, SC and they have a huge Farmers Market. It’s great because it’s the best when you know who grows it and because you are shopping local and supporting these farmers who take pride in there product! There is also the Cottle Farms strawberry field about 4 mins from our house. I can’t wait to go pick some fresh strawberries! We love Dr. Browns! Thank you for the chance to win!
I’m due next week! I would LOVE to have this! My new little boy would be so healthy eating with it!
I love Dr Browns!! We only use Dr Browns bottles for our son!
The only way you can be sure it’s organic is to grow it yourself. I grow some of the things I give my son. It’s a lot cheaper than buying it.
I’m pregnant with my second boy and I never got a chance to do this for my first baby. Id love to win it so I can make my own blended recipes for a healthy eating!!!! Thank u!

I would absolutely love this, my first child is 5 months old and just starting to try foods. This would be a great help!!

The farmers market opens here in 2 more weeks! I cant wait to go. I have a 4 month old and will be going each week!
very interesting article . We will be starting solids real soon and I would love this for my son.
I have a two month old baby boy cloth diapering him and I REALLY want to prepare his food as well! My sister used baby bullet would LOVE to try ya’lls!
Since my grocery budget isn’t sufficient for me to buy ALL organic produce, I at least buy what I’ve seen termed the ‘dirty dozen” or those fruits and veggies worst affested by pesticides etc. and I the “clean 15″ -those least affected I don’t buy organic. Everything in between I try to buy organic when I can. During the summer we grow in our back yard all our salad veggies plus somother veggies so we do our best.

Great article!

Thanks for sharing this article!
I only buy organic fruits and veggies. Im pregnant for the fist time and i’m due in october. When it’s time to start feeding the baby, baby food. i’m going to be making my own baby food. I think it’s the best way to go. The puree and simple blender would be great.

Nothing better than organic!!
I don’t generally buy organic produce due to the price :( On rare occasions we do stop at the farmers market but I honestly don’t remember buying produce we did however purchase some pepper plants.
I try my best to buy organic produce, especially in the case we are eating the skins.
Great products!!
I like the co op programs for a family sized share of veggies each week!
I almost always buy the dirty dozen organic. The other depend on which looks better. I love the farmers markets when they are available which is a pretty short season in Alaska! I’d love this set to help in making food for my 8 month old. She loves fresh fruit and veggies!
I’d love to win this! We get farmers market fruits and veggies regularly.

I do not seek out to buy organic produce. I have not been shopping at a farmers market.
We exclusively use dr brown’s for our 13 week old son due to acid reflux and milk intolerance. He loves your bottles! He prefers the longer ones over the short, round ones. Why do they have different styles anyway? Because he hates that nipple on the short, rounder ones.
That Looks awesome! I would love the opportunity to win this! Making homemade baby food is what I plan on doing, this would make it so much easier!

Organic products are the way to go and what better place to find them is the farmer’s market! We get to support local farmers as well!

There are 2 great apps that I use to help in purchasing organic foods- EWG has a dirty dozen app and Locavore is an app that shows you where the farmers markets are in your area and also what is in season. Great article!
Always go Organic!!!
I would love to win this! It’ll be perfect to use for my baby that is due in September.

The Hope Street Farmers Market in Providence, Rhode Island is fantastic!
excellent product
excellent product hope 2 win
I try to buy as much organic as possible, mainly produce. I love the taste of fresh produce from our local farm and can’t wait to introduce my little one to wonderful, homemade baby food using farm fresh ingredients!
I love to shop farmers markets. There is a market here once a week. I also participate in a fresh food co-op that purchases some organic items.
I always try to buy organic produce. It is hard here where I live..but I manage to do it. My children eat all organic including milk, eggs, and meat.
I love the list of the dirty dozen.. when to buy organic and when its ok to buy regular fruits and veggies! Very smart :) I’d love to win this for my baby girl
Cant wait till my one month old is ready to eat solid foods! I am so looking forward to making all sorts of good eats for her:)♥
I plan on trying to make my baby’s food so i can control the quality of ingredients used. Tbis is the easy way to ensure organic food. Would love to win the prize package.
I always go to the farmers market. If you have one near you they are a must. I hate when you go to bite into a piece tomato or what have you and you can’t taste it (this happens often with walmart produce). Plus packaged baby food now a days is so high in sugar, sodium, and preservatives. When my daughter gets old enough for real food (she’s due in Sept) than she will for sure be getting homemade food made with good locally grown produce!
I love Farmer’s Markets but unfortunately due to the rough economy I have been unable to visit as frequently. This would be a great prize since I am expecting my 4th child in January. I hope I win & good luck to all!!!
We are just starting purees with our sweet daughter. We’d love to win this for her! Thanks so much!
I would LOVE to have this for my new baby! Sounds easy, and you may spend a little extra time in the beggining, but look at the Health benefits!!
great article. We’re having our first child in August and are already on a budget, but we want to be able to provide the best for our family. Glad to know that you are trying to get people educated about what they are eating and how to avoid harmful additives without breaking the bank!
I would love to win! I love dr brown bottles they are great!
Organic is always a good way to go. WITH this system you can save a lot more.
would love this! Buy organic all the time and love to make baby food.
we have many uses for this product
Eating all organic is one of the most important things to my family and myself. Though it does get a little expensive it is definitely worth it. You only have one body, why would you want to fill it with chemicals and preservatives? I cannot state enough how important it is to support local farmers at things such as farmers markets and fruit/vegetable stands. If more people did i think we could eventually weed out the farms that mass produce food with horrible pesticides. Plus, nothing is more satisfying than eating a fresh healthy meal you made from scratch (:
Thank you for the chance at a great prize.
Great giveaway!
love it
I’m expecting baby #3 and think this would be fantastic as my mother used to make my baby food for me and I tried with my prior two but didn’t have the right equipment to do it right! Been trying to buy more organic foods now for my family as well ….
This would make life easier
What a great product
I love Dr. Brown’s products! My baby boy loves them too. I would love to win and make him fresh food! Thank you for such wonderful product!
my 7 month old grand daughter will get good use of these products
I do make all my own baby food and only use organic produce for that , although the rest of the familydoesn’t always get organic – but I think it is so important for the baby.
Due with baby #2 after 7 years and looking for ways to save money and give the baby the best and purest foods we can give her.
love to get fresh veggies and fruit to prepare
I much rather make my baby’s food fresh than buy it in jars!
great product
