Little Green Pouch Launches Its Online Store -- Pouches Now For Sale!!

You can purchase them at our online store, or at Sprout’s San Francisco, Chicago and New York stores. Don’t forget about us after you buy. We’d be so appreciative if you could send us some pictures, videos and/or recipes so we can post them on our blog.

Little Green Pouch... All the juicy details
Some of you have been asking for a bit more background information on our Little Green Pouch. We've been working so hard over the last year to bring our reusable food pouch to market and we are just about ready to start selling. But before we officially launch we want to give you all (our first and favorite fans!) some more pouch details:
- Full Name: Little Green Pouch
- AKAs: LGP, “The Pouch” & “My Squishie”
- Conceived: October 1, 2011
- Expected Due Date: Early October 2012 (wouldn’t its 1st birthday be great?!)
- Capacity: 6 ounces
- Likes: pureed food, freezers, dishwashers, lunch boxes, diaper bags, tiny hands and long runs on the beach.
- Dislikes: The microwave.
- Cool fact: It will be sold in packs of 4 (a 4-pack of pouches will retail for $14.99, or about $3.75 a pouch).
- Likes to accessorize: We will also be offering some cool accessories to make your life with our reusable pouch all the more wonderful. That includes funnels (not necessary but make filling a breeze); bottle brushes (to keep the pouch squeaky clean); dissolvable labels (so you can write the date and contents on the pouch but never have to worry about struggling to tear a pesky label off -- they completely disappear in water!); and finally, if you need them, a couple of extra caps (but the cool thing is that caps from any pouch will fit!).
- Who would have thought: that our pouch would love to spoon? If your little one prefer eating from a spoon (or you prefer feeding them from one) the good news is that dispensing spoons fit perfectly!
- Greatest Accomplishment: Being BPA and phthalate free.
Large Pieces Of Office Equipment CAN Be Exciting
It has arrived, it has been unpacked, it has been plugged in, and it is ready to weigh and stamp postage on your pouch packages (we’ve been assured it will do so most efficiently). Take this as a clear indication of the fact that we are almost ready to launch.
Yes, it’s true! The waiting is almost over. We anticipate our pouches will be ready for sale later this month/early October. We just can’t wait.
If you haven’t done so yet, sign up here so you can be among the first to know that the pouches are ready for sale. If you have already signed up, rest assured that we will contact you the moment our Little Green Pouches are ready to hit the door.
Eating an Apple with Only Two Teeth
Liz Grimm's’s clan (i.e. the Chabots - she kept her maiden name just like me!), recent residents of Copperas Cove, Texas, are a big fruit and veggie family. One year-old Acadia (aka “Cadi”) apparently inherited her mom’s independence, and “LOVES” feeding herself. According to Liz, this photo is a perfect representation of why The Chabots need our reusable food pouch.
Cadi loves apples, and LOVES applesauce, but doesn't like being fed applesauce anymore. And, well, eating an apple with only two teeth isn’t all that easy. (Eating an apple with two teeth before the dog or her siblings inevitably trick her in to feeding it to them is nearly impossible.)
Liz says that her family happened upon those wonderful (disposable) food pouches at the grocery store, and the next thing they knew, they were buying them by the case two or three times a month! Liz began to realize that both money and trash were piling up. She noted that she used to make and store Cadi’s purees when she would eat them off a spoon, and asked herself, “why not use a reusable pouch? Save time, money, and the environment (funny how an “inner hippy” has arisen since having my daughter . . .).”
But finding a suitable alternative was a challenge for Liz. To her, “most reusable [feeders] seem[ed] more like bendy sippy cups than reusable pouches (an entirely unappealing compromise to Cadi) . . . .” But then Liz stumbled across our Little Green Pouch, and “can’t WAIT to try it out!” She’s pleaded, “please please please, let us know when we can get our hands on one!”
Liz, we can’t wait to get one in your hands either. The time is nigh. We should have a four pack coming to you in the next several weeks. And a free one at that, in appreciation of all of your wonderful and innovative recipes. They are so awesome that we'll be tagging them all with Liz so you can easily find them!
Liz, and all you other Little Green Pouchers out there, we so, so appreciate your patience. Hang in there with us!
