Once Upon a Farm Closed $52 Million in New Funding

Once Upon a Farm, a children’s nutrition company and makers of organic snacks and meals for kids of all ages, recently announced the closing of $52 million in Series D funding. This investment was led by CAVU Venture Partners, along with existing investors S2G Ventures, Cambridge and Beechwood. This round of capital along with the leadership of Co-Founders John Foraker, Jennifer Garner and Cassandra Curtis, will continue to fuel the company’s rapid growth in retail and online while expanding their innovation pipeline for today’s modern parents.

“The experience, network and funding support Once Upon a Farm has received in its lifetime from our investment partners have been monumental to the company’s growth thus far,” said John Foraker, CEO and Co-Founder of Once Upon a Farm. “Our business has grown at a triple-digit compounded annual growth rate since 2017, and this new round of funding reflects the want and need for our delicious products. We want to continue being that ally for parents when choosing snacks and food we know their kids are going to love.”

“Once Upon a Farm is a true visionary in the baby food and kids snacking space, disrupting two categories that have been stagnant for years and giving back in the process,” said Brett Thomas, Cofounder at CAVU Venture Partner. “We’re excited to double down on the brand and executive teams through this capital raise while continuing to support their incredible mission.”

Now in more than 11,000 retail stores in North America and with a robust direct-to-consumer and e-commerce platform, Once Upon a Farm is expected to double again in 2022 based on broad consumer and market acceptance of their growing product portfolio that spans from first bites baby food to school snacking for kids.
