Organic Baby Food from Yummy Spoonfuls-Interview with CEO Agatha Achindu

Most mothers are unaware of the amount of chemicals and pesticides that are used to grow and produce our food supply. Agatha Achindu grew up on healthy organic food and when she became a mother, she was saddened to find a lack of healthy choices to feed her growing infant. What began out of her own frustrations, became a thriving business as more mothers became concerned about the effects of all these chemicals on their own children. Yummy Spoonfuls was birthed about three years ago and on this episode, we discuss the need for organic food and the types and varieties of baby food available through this growing metro Atlanta, GA company.
