For too long, ready-made weaning foods have put convenience before quality, using harsh heat treatments that strip away the natural goodness of vegetables. We knew there had to be a better way. So, we set out to create meals that nourish little bodies and curious minds, without compromise.
We believe the love of good food starts early. By introducing babies to real vegetables and savoury flavours, we help lay the foundation for a lifetime of happy, healthy eating. Our meals are made with balance and variety at heart blending coarse vegetable grains to create dishes rich in goodness, texture, and taste.
We’ve discovered a gentle new way to prepare our food using freeze-drying. This method preserves the natural flavour, texture and nutrients of vegetables - locking in better taste, better texture and better nutrition.
And while it might sound new, our process is really simple. Vegetables are harvested, chopped, cooked then gently dehydrated. Ready to come back to life with a splash of water and a quick stir. We’re here to give you the choice and to help you make weaning easy and nourishing from the very first tastes.
The love of good food begins with acorn and lasts a lifetime
I’ve learnt from scientific research and seen first-hand just how critical the first 1000 days of a child’s life are in shaping their long-term relationship with food. I’ve joined forces with Impact on Urban Health, a leading health foundation, and together we’re on a mission to change the way we feed our babies. Giving parents more savoury, nutritious options and helping children grow up loving nutritious food right from the very start. This is just the beginning.

Our journey began in partnership with leading health foundation, Impact on Urban Health. Together, we explored how we could make more nutritious weaning foods for little ones and came across a new way of weaning
Trying, testing and learning every step of the way. We reached out to mums and dads across the country to understand what you really want for your babies. With your feedback, we experimented with countless recipes, flavours and textures to get it just right!
From all that learning and love, acorn grew from an idea to a reality. We developed our first range of nutritionally balanced weaning meals. Made from a variety of vegetables and gently freeze-dried to lock in flavour, texture and nutritional goodness
The launch of Acorn marks just the beginning. We’re on a mission to nurture a love of good food from the very first taste.
