I am going to be testing the Miles Outside Organic line of baby foods for baby hikers. It was developed by a couple when they decided to take their baby, Miles, for a hike on the AT. Their website is http://www.milesoutsideorganic.com/
The food looks to be good quality and gluten free. I will post a review once Kaia is old enough to test it and we can see if she likes it.
We'll also be making our own baby foods most of the time. That way I have control over the ingredients. I plan to dry some for the trail too. My best friend and I have done this before for her little guy and the results were wonderful.
I figure that there are probably other parents who plan to take their wee ones on the trail and that lightweight food alternatives will be in order.

Feb 19, 2011 at 8:24 am #1698719I have reviewed a number of baby foods on my personal blog, this is one on trail friendly versions:

Feb 22, 2011 at 2:19 pm #1700113Yep! The ones they sell at Starbucks are very similar as well. Ford loves the ones from TJ's.
Feb 22, 2011 at 2:23 pm #1700118I rarely go to Starbucks, so I haven't seen those yet. Gonna have to go check now!! Anything else I should be looking for? :)
