ABOUT
This is a family business that does organic baby and toddler meals plus Free From skin care!
In 1899 HiPP began with Joseph Hipp’s wife Maria who was struggling with breastfeeding their twins. Hipp, a baker from southern Germany, decided to use his culinary skills to create a natural, nutritious rusk-based cereal that could help fill the gap between breastmilk and “real food”. Their twins thrived on it – as did their next five children! Wow!
Fast forward to today and their products are sold in 57 countries worldwide. Click here to learn more of their history.
With 260 quality checks and a personal guarantee from the HiPP family, for over 60 years they have been Organic working with nature and they believe that those baby bellies and pesky pesticides should be kept as far apart as possible!
They go above EU Organic standards, set their own tougher criteria, raising the bar PLUS it’s also why, from less acidic apples to lower nitrate spinach, they carefully select their produce so it’s naturally baby friendly too.
Their farming
They’ve enjoyed the clean air and provided water to happy, healthy animals and tasty fruit and vegetables as it matters to this company that working with nature, rather than against it, can provide us all with everything we need (since 1966)
Instead of using artificial fertilisers, their farmers run regular crop rotation and encourage natural pest controllers like hedgehogs, owls and hawks, rather than spraying with harmful chemicals which I think is fantastic!
Happy animals
‘Species-appropriate livestock farming’ is the way we make sure our cows, sheep , chickens and turkeys live happy, healthy lives, without the need for growth hormones and other drugs.
- Chickens can roam freely in the open air, scratching and sun-bathing, and enjoying organic food themselves
- On their own farm, we let our animals out into the woods to graze.
- It’s really about giving each animal or bird the space it needs to live in natural surroundings.
Natural pesticides
Creating the the right environment for these natural friends also makes our whole world happier and healthier for everyone.
- They encourage owls to hunt mice, hawks to scare away pigeons and hedgehogs to deal with slugs and snails.
- Their bats are experts at keeping insects from eating the crops!
8,000 organic farmers who believe in what they do!
For 20 years HiPP bananas have been sourced from the same supplier in Costa Rica. HiPP’s heirloom Gros Michel bananas are grown using natural methods, providing a habitat for lots of other plants, animals and insects. Intensely flavoured with just the right natural sugar content they are delicious foods for babies.
“We’ve been following our beliefs, our dreams, our natural instincts, for four generations now.”

Their ethos:
- Green is good.
- Organic is better.
- Produce is more delicious when picked at its plumpest, juiciest peak.
- Babies deserve food that tastes great to make them feel HiPP inside and out.Sustainable food.
Their promise:
- They guarantee the highest quality ingredients that exceed EU organic standards.
- They never add artificial preservatives, sweeteners or colours to food.
- Ingredients are picked at the peak of ripeness and then gently steam cooked to retain all the goodness and flavour.
- Always try to minimise waste – recipes use fruit and vegetables that are too small, big, or ‘ugly’ for supermarkets but still have all the nutrients your baby needs.
- Remain dedicated to sustainability – working with nature and truly caring more about the environment, to keep their farmland rich and fertile for the future.
