At Serenity Kids, we believe our high-quality baby food has to start with farmers. Healthy food comes from healthy animals which come from healthy ecosystems. From our organic vegetables to grass-fed and pasture-raised meats, we seek out only the finest farms in an effort to create a product that truly contains the healthiest stuff on Earth.
Our farmers use ethical and regenerative practices. Because we believe that a healthy planet and healthy animals mean healthier babies and happier humans.
Ethical Sourcing
The farms that we source from practice techniques that go beyond the standards required for organic certification and are dedicated to respecting and humanely treating animals and farming in a way that gives back to the land. This means that the animals live in a way most similar to how they would have lived in the wild, and are never given GMO feed, antibiotics, added hormones or pesticides.
Regenerative Agriculture
We solely source from farmers that use regenerative agricultural practices that go well beyond sustainability. Regenerative agriculture, and the farmers who practice it, help reverse climate change by contributing to carbon sequestration, aerating and shaping the land and creating a positive environment for all animals. This looks different for each of the farms that we source our ingredients from but every single one plays a role in utilizing these techniques to better the world we live in.

Ferndale Market
100% Free Range Turkey
About 45 minutes south of the Twin Cities, you’ll find Ferndale Market, our pasture-raised turkey farm. “Dale Peterson, our grandfather, started our farm in 1939. He had studied poultry science in college and was looking for a location that was ideally suited for raising turkeys outdoors. He found that land in the rolling hills of the Little Cannon River Valley. Shortly after, Dale married Fern, and together they fostered our family farm, which still proudly bears their name,” says Katie Peterson, Ferndale Market’s Marketing and Communications Manager (and third generation) at Ferndale Market. 80+ years later, the faces on the farm may have changed (the farm is now managed by second and third generations), but a lot looks the same—the turkeys are still raised free-range and without the use of antibiotics.
The turkeys at Ferndale Market have the life; once the birds are old enough to move outdoors, they spend their days exploring and taking in the fresh air and are moved weekly to fresh green grass, along with their shelters, water, and feed. “We believe that our model is the best one for our turkeys, our land, and our farm staff. We are proud to continue growing our turkeys outdoors, long after most folks have moved away from free-ranging poultry; we're fortunate to have a farm that's well suited for pasturing our birds,” says Peterson; “agriculture has become so consolidated that it’s harder than ever for small family farms to survive…knowing where our food comes from and supporting independent farmers is important to us.”
A couple fun facts: 1) Ferndale Market takes pride in hosting a big farm tour day each year in July where guests at the farm can go on hayrides, learn about the farm’s history, and get a behind the scenes look at their entire operation. 2) John (third-generation farmer, general manager, and Katie’s brother) has been writing a monthly From Your Farmer update where you can learn all about the farm’s happenings.

Tradin Organic
Organic Coconut Cream
Since the 1980's, Tradin Organic's agriculture experts search the world for the most natural, organic ingredients. A great example is our USDA organic and Fairtrade certified coconut cream from Sri Lanka, straight from the country's "coconut triangle". A few hundred farmers grow these coconuts with care, often alongside organic mango, banana, cashew, jackfruit and pepper. We promote this type of mixed cultivation, as the high biodiversity helps keep the ecosystem balanced and the soil and plants healthy. That way, there's no need for any chemical or synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. Shiva Chiramsi, leading our sourcing in Asia: "the communities we work with in Sri Lanka have a strong connection to nature, and to each other. Most of the farms are surrounded by nature, which makes them quite remote. From the two factories where the coconuts are collected and processed, various community support initiatives are set up. These range from offering unlimited drinking water, distributing seedlings and plants, donating food and school supplies and organizing medical projects like check-ups and blood donation." Tradin Organic’s mission is to empower farming communities to ensure future foodies can also enjoy nature’s finest ingredients!
