Read All About It... November, 2008 Twin Cities Naturally Magazine ' “I’m passionate about helping to raise healthy children,” said Karis. “Organic food ensures the produce and grains have been grown without pesticides, chemicals or genetic modification.”She is also proud of supporting the growing locavore movement. Locavores are committed to eating food that is grown or produced locally.' October 22, 2008 St Paul Pioneer Press "FOOD FOR TOTS 128 Cafe in St. Paul is all about using local ingredients — now even in its kids' meals. The restaurant across from the University of St. Thomas has brought in Sweet Cheeks Baby Food. It's made by a St. Paul company that sells whole and pureed organic foods at the St. Paul Farmers' Market." October 22, 2008 LifeWhile WISN
Channel 3000 Is Timing Right For your New Small Business? "...Karis said she loves to imagine the growth of her business but doesn't want to get to ahead of herself. 'I'm pretty focused on the here and now, but I really want to maintain the integrity of my product and grow at a rate that doesn't compromise that', she said."

Sweet Cheeks Baby Food was invited on the show as a representative of the fall bounty at the St Paul Farmer's Market. We were proud to accomodate and even showed how to make our favorite (and so easy) fall recipe! Catering to diapered diners "With what’s going on in the economy, restaurant owners are having to get innovative if they want to stay in business. After all, they can only raise prices so many times. Now, I just heard about a great idea I thought I’d share. Lori Karis, owner of Sweet Cheeks Baby Food, tells me that 128 Café in St. Paul now has her baby food on the menu for $3 per serving. Karis says a lot of parents with young children visit Café 128 and this is a way for the toddlers and newbies to eat something healthy, tasty and freshly made. The baby food is all vegan, nut-free, organic and mostly made from local ingredients. For 128 Café owner Jill Wilson, it’s a great way to connect with customers and make a few bucks at the same time." "At Locallectual, we just love a 'locally made' success story. We ESPECIALLY love it if it involves organic, locally grown foods. And we really, REALLY love it if it is also a tale of a woman-owned business. Actually, Sweet Cheeks Baby Food is not just woman-owned; owner Lori Karis is also the chef, packager, manager, business manager, and direct salesperson. A story (and woman) after our own hearts!" "Will the kids like them? Our panel of judges (2 toddlers and 3 adults) really enjoyed them- all of them. And believe it or not, some of them make great meals for adults- like the Steel Cut Oats and Apple 'role- just add some sugar (or not!) and it makes a tasty, healthy alternative to other breakfast foods." "If you live in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area (Minnesota), my above-all, hands-down favorite is Sweet Cheeks Baby Food. Lori Karis, the owner, puts a lot of love into her baby food. If I ever get over the fear of raising anything more than a pepper plant (i.e. a little human) I will have my freezer stocked with Sweet Cheeks Baby Food. I visited Lori at the St. Paul Farmer’s Market and just fell in love with her passion for healthy baby food." September 1, 2008 Edible Twin Cities Magazine "Karis also recognizes the lasting impression her foods could have long after those sweet cheeks are too old to be (agreeably) squeezed..." |
