Community Highlights: Meet Danielle Silver of Sophie’s Organics

Today we’d like to introduce you to Danielle Silver.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
As a nutritionist and mom I found a gap in the market place when it came to shelf-stable on-the-go pouches for little ones. I noticed they all were extremely watery and lacked true nutritional value. I felt called to changing the way pouches were made from traditional retort method to our innovative method which locks in more nutritional value than traditional pouches you would find on the shelf. After several months of coming up with recipes and deciding if it was a true gap that I wanted to fill- I did it and Sophie organics was started,. Between taking my daughter to school or after school activities it’s just so nice to grab and go. Knowing that I am providing my sweet daughter with real nutrition for her growing body. I felt confident that it was and is something all parents want a healthy
pouch to offer their child.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I don’t think any business is a smooth road. What I have heard from other founders and investors is starting a CPG baby/toddler food company is not a very attractive or exciting niche in the marketplace for most investors. When starting my company I really have had to bootstrap, ask pretty much everyone I know for a favor to get to this point and of course, my amazing husband who took on the roll of COO of the company- I wouldn’t have been able to do it without him. The struggles of managing things on a daily basis, fires that need immediate attention and also being a parent is a wild ride. It’s been well worth it when I see my daughter enjoying our pouches and getting positive reviews. Parents and kids notice the difference, I know I am doing something to better serve and make a positive impact in children’s health.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Sophie’s Organics is the first baby and toddler food pouch company to make changes in the shelf stable pouch market with our innovative processing method. As the founder of Sophie’s I am so proud of the innovation that we are introducing into the marketplace. I want parents to know that they don’t have to compromise when they look to shelf stable options. That a mom and nutritionist really took the time to create a better product for your little one. Pouch (and other snacks to come) that are well thought out and to the standard that people want their children to have.

What makes you happy?
Being in the moment with my daughter brings me so much joy. Listening to her stories, hearing about her day and listening to her imagination is so sweet .It reminds me that we all have an inner child inside. We all have so much love and light that we can offer to our world around us.
