About us
At FoodNerd, we're on a mission to redefine what kids eat today, tomorrow, and in the future. We make a wide range of tasty foods, but underneath all that deliciousness, we’re also setting new standards for nutrient density. We believe that parents should never have to compromise their children's well-being because of busy schedules or a lack of great pre-packaged options. That's why we've dedicated ourselves to creating nibbles that are positively brimming with the goodness of nature’s best ingredients. Our secret? Through meticulous research and development, we've harnessed a groundbreaking method (we call it Nutrient Lock Cold Processing) that preserves the natural vitality of fruits, vegetables, and sprouted seeds, ensuring that up to 98% of the nutrients remain intact. This also means that we don’t need to add any “filler” ingredients that cancel out the benefits of the best nutrients. We think it’s pretty remarkable science, but the most exciting bit goes beyond the nutritional excellence — our favorite part is that our kids love to eat something that’s so good for their future selves. Our products are designed to seamlessly fit into the ups and downs of parenthood. Whether it's snack time on the go, or dinner time where you’re like “where did the day go?” our healthy creations are there to support you. At FoodNerd, we believe that the healthy growth and development of our kids should go hand in hand with scientific rigor, tasty delight, and the kind of love for little ones that would make one stop at nothing in the pursuit to revolutionize how food gets made for the next generation.

Good things take time, and great things take a few cookie cutters and 6 years of R&D 😜 The Puffs started as blocks we cut by hand, a small idea that grew into something big—winning us $1 million at 43North. What changed? A perfect mix of parenthood, passion, and your feedback. Running a business is wild. We’ve pivoted more than Ross in that one Friends episode, but the heart behind it all? That’s always stayed the same. 💚 #entrepreneur #businesspivots Join the conversation here: https://lnkd.in/g9haVJ8J

“As a female-led team of mostly mothers,” Cryan said, “[our] ultimate goal is nutritional equality—every child deserves access to healthy food at the right time, made the right way.” We had the best time chatting with Andrew about our 43North win! We even got a little nerdy with Holly Batt chatting about A.G.E.'s and cold processing! Check it out in the link below :) https://lnkd.in/gUrkT_SP
Flow begins at the edge of your comfort zone. In the spirit of both fun and innovation, the new winter issue pays tribute to women who recognized an opportunity and transformed seemingly ordinary ideas into something extraordinary—a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich elevated to gourmet status, a bookshop filled to the brim with cookbooks and culinary delights, and a toddler’s snack packed with nutrients and tastes for developing young palates. Enjoy this last issue of 2024 as you prepare for winter holidays and the long months of shorter days. 43North FoodNerd Sweeterson Farms Edible Communities Cover photo by Jeff Welt.

Wise words from our founder, Sharon Cryan- “Practice does not make perfect, but practice makes confidence,” she said. “At the end of the day, no one knows your passion or vision like you do, so if you are staying true to yourself and you’re building confidence, you’re going to tell your story authentically. That’s what matters most.” https://lnkd.in/gh_NPPhx
