Baby Food From Loaves and Fishes
Sybille van Kempen, the owner of Loaves and Fishes, started the shop’s line of homemade baby food more than 30 years ago with the birth of her first child, Stefan Fengler.
“My mom formulated the recipes to give us the best of her cooking, and then to share that amazing cooking with the community,” Karina Forrest, her daughter and the manager of Loaves and Fishes, said in an email.
With the birth last summer of her first child, Willow Anna (whose middle name derives from Anna Pump, the founder of Loaves and Fishes), Ms. Forrest has been able to raise and nourish a new generation with the shop’s baby food. She also noted that the store is now offering fully organic baby food.
