Bohemian Baby - for even the "not so bohemian" types!

I am not the type of mom to buy organic food. As far as baby food is concerned, I'm pretty much a Gerber mom all the way. So I find it interesting that I volunteered to review Bohemian Baby organic baby food. And I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. Bohemian Baby is the first fresh organic homemade baby food producer that will deliver to your home. They make everything from "Bo Baby" basics and gourmet meals to yogurt and fruit snacks. You just pick your menu and it's shipped overnight to your house.

My ten-month old son, Cooper, sampled seven different fruits and vegetables: Pure Golden Pears; Pure Fiji Apples; Apple and Oats Blend; Pure Mango; Pear, Blueberry and Raisin Blend; Sweet Potatoes and Kale; and Yellow Squash, Carrot and Broccoli. They come packaged in simple yet very attractive glass jars and the serving size is quite large (5 oz compared to a 4 oz Gerger "Stage 2" jar). Since I never eat vegetables, I let Cooper be the sole judge of the veggies. He really liked them a lot!

But I have to rave about the fruits. Poor Cooper didn't get to eat any of the pears - I ATE THEM ALL. Seriously, they were so good I couldn't stop eating them. My husband thought I was nuts but I still happily gobbled up the entire jar of pears and half of the apples.

I didn't get to sample any of the food for toddlers but the menu looks really cool - basil pesto pasta, cuban black beans and butternut squash and risotto are just three examples. Check out the full line of food.

As for pricing, it's not cheap. If you live in the Los Angeles Area, it is more reasonable because the food does not have to be shipped overnight (or can be picked up). Outside of LA, it must be overnighted for obvious reasons. If you're going on vacation and don't want to pack food with you it could also be a good option. But since cost is all subjective, take a look and decide for yourself what you think.

And don't forget to mention Mommies With Style to get 10% off your first order!

So thanks to Bohemian Baby for changing my thoughts on organic food - who knows, maybe I'll start browsing through the organic aisle at the store now. Brown eggs anyone?
