OUR STORY

When my son was born, my husband and I were living away from our village. The friends that were near us, although well intentioned, were dropping off baby onesies & board books when what we were really craving was a community to nourish us. My husband's Paternity Leave was a blessing as he was able to prepare many warming, nutrient dense foods including bone broths, his grandmother's borscht, and mineral rich teas while I focused on rest, skin-to-skin, and breastfeeding my son. It was clear the foods played a major role in the overall physical and emotional wellness of our new family of three. It was then and there I vowed to always support new mama friends with wholesome foods so they could focus on nourishing their babies. Our ancestors honored new mothers with warming, easy to digest, nutrient dense foods because they knew pregnancy depletes a woman's body and requires adequate replenishment. Our foremothers also knew the early days of postpartum are a sacred time of bonding for mother and baby - and a mother should be granted as much rest as possible. This innate knowledge has fallen away in our modern society, which is why I started Meals to Mamas. We provide nutrient dense dishes, desserts, and beverages to mamas so they can mother with the vitality they deserve. We look forward to being part of your village!
