ABOUT OUR GROWERS

 

Here at Only Organic, we are a team of parents who love creating tasty, balanced recipes (with the help of a nutritionist) that babies love to eat! We’re always on the lookout for new ingredients and constantly improving our favourite recipes, carefully adjusting each according to age group. All our ingredients are certified organic - we try our best to source New Zealand grown where possible and work with some amazing NZ growers and farmers.

We’re really proud of the fact that NZ organic grass-fed beef is of a very high standard. It contains more Omega-3 fatty acids, carotenoids, vitamin E, and other antioxidants compared to grain-fed, as well as having more natural taste. It’s an excellent protein source, and rich in iron - something that toddlers need lots of while their bodies are growing so quickly. A firm favourite is our Only Organic Beef Bolognaise Pasta: high quality NZ grass-fed beef, wholesome organic pasta and seasonal vegetables are combined to make a hearty, nutrient-filled lunch or dinner.

NZ organic grass-fed lamb is another great source of protein, containing high levels of essential vitamins and minerals. As well as containing up to five times more Omega 3 fatty acids than grain-fed (essential for good health, especially the heart and brain), organic grass-fed lamb contains high levels of a good fat called Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), known to be associated with reduced body fat and other health benefits. Experimenting with different proteins provides natural variety at meal-times and a well-balanced diet - the Sweet Potato, NZ Lamb, Couscous and Minted Pea meal is a great place to start!
 
Bostock Brothers provide us with our NZ free-range organic chicken. These guys have set up uniquely-designed chalets in their Hawkes Bay apple orchard, which enables the chickens to live and roam freely in a natural environment. We’re proud to use their chicken in our recipes and you can read more about their farm and farming practices here: https://bostocksorganic.co.nz/. There are many nutritional benefits to eating free-range organic chicken, not least that they are free of antibiotics, hormones, GM, chemicals and chlorine. We offer a range of delicious chicken meals including the very popular Mango, Chicken and Coconut Rice.With Only Organic you can be sure that you’re feeding your little one tasty, nutritious, balanced meals made with quality organic ingredients, with no added nasties like artificial flavouring, colour or preservatives.
