Our Story

Indigi-Baby Food is thoughtfully created for Indigenous babies and lovingly shared with all families seeking nutritious, culturally rooted foods.

Our baby food is made for our wee ones using produce from Turtle Island. The ingredients come from foods that have been cultivated on Turtle Island for thousands of years, including wild rice from Mahnomen thats grows in clean and healthy water.

We believe our babies should begin eating Indigi-Baby Food once they are finished with their mother’s breast milk. Our foods are grown organically using heirloom squashes, beans, wild rice, and blueberries. Infact, some of the babies favorites are blueberries and wild rice.

The idea for Indigi-Baby Food came to life while we at ITPF were growing medicines for our programs - asemaa, sage, sweetgrass - and harvesting for the willow for kinnickinik. After growing these medicines and working closely with women on tobacco cessation programming, one of our staff said we should encourage our mothers to feed their babies Indigenous foods. We all agreed and Indigi-Baby Food was born!

Our baby foods are free from dairy, wheat, and added sugars, allowing babies to develop a taste for wholesome foods without excess sugar, salt, or fats. These are the foods our ancestors relied on - foods that sustained strong, healthy generations. This is our hope for today’s babies: nourishment that supports health, strength, and cultural connection from the very beginning.
