Launched on Mother’s Day 2006, HAPPYFAMILY is a leading premium organic food brand delivering optimum nutrition for the entire family. HAPPYFAMILY, most well-known for its premium HAPPYBABY organic products, is the only company to feature a complete line of organic infant nutrition including probiotic cereals, meals, yogurt and fruit treats and allergen-sensitive snacks for babies and children, as well as organic smoothies for older kids, teens and adults. HAPPYFAMILY products incorporate nutritious ingredients like a vegan and sustainable source of DHA, choline for brain development, vitamins, prebiotics and probiotics, and super grains like Salba®, quinoa and amaranth.
HAPPYFAMILY is committed to making baby and toddler food as healthy and delicious as homemade with the essential nutrients needed for optimal growth and development. HAPPYFAMILY is the only line of organic baby foods endorsed by world renowned Dr. Robert Sears and developed in conjunction with expert nutritionist Amy Marlow. HAPPYFAMILY's products are all organic, using 100% natural ingredients, and are free of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, preservatives, and genetically modified ingredients (GMO's). They offer an ever-expanding line of products from first cereals for babies to healthy meals and snacks for babies, toddlers, and even adults.
B Corp certification is an excellent tool for us to demonstrate to our customers that we have done a comprehensive and thoughtful assessment of the environmental and social impact of our business. From manufacturing and sourcing to logistics and packaging, consumers know they can feel good about all aspects of the HAPPYFAMILY products they love.
Not only does HAPPYFAMILY provide innovative and optimally nutritional products to their consumers, they are also committed to promoting the health and nutrition of those in need. This can be seen through their partnership with Project Peanut Butter where for every package of HAPPYFAMILY food bought, a portion goes to feeding malnourished children in Malawi.

The Change We Seek®
HAPPYFAMILY believes that incorporating sustainability into their business practices is absolutely essential. Their commitment to using only organic ingredients demonstrates a commitment to both human and environmental health. HAPPYFAMILY also sources their ingredients and raw materials from highly socially responsible suppliers and is committed to continuing to work with them to find the greenest and most innovative packaging possible. HAPPYBABY pouches currently come in BPA-free packaging with recyclable caps, offering a lower environmental impact than glass jars. All of their containers are also BPA free, and many are made from post consumer recycled materials.
In addition to providing nutritious and organic foods, HAPPYFAMILY supports social causes, such as Project Peanut Butter, Healthy Child Healthy World, and the March of Dimes. The company also aims to educate the public about raising healthy babies and children. HAPPYFAMILY provides educational materials on their website, in their newsletter, and through their book to serve as a resource to parents looking for information that will help them make informed decisions regarding food, nutrition, and a healthy environment for their family.
