What do they offer?
Barley and Oats offers several different options for ordering convenient meals for the busy expectant mother and the busy breastfeeding mother. Studies have shown that nutrition has a big impact on getting pregnant, developing a healthy baby, and nursing your baby once it is born. Barley and Oats offers products that contain the vitamins and minerals that a woman needs to have a happy, healthy baby.
They offer snacks and meals that are conveniently packaged, measured, and delivered straight to the customer. Pregnancy and delivery are hard enough, so this is the ultimate convenience. Barley and Oats offers a healthy alternative to trying to balance nutritional needs while pregnant and breastfeeding.
The ingredients in their dishes not only nurture fetal development, but they also promote healthy lactation and milk production. This helps take the worry out of healthy eating, and helps their customers balance nutrition with little to not effort! Rest your mind knowing that the needs of a balanced healthy diet are taken care of, in balanced, wholesome meals and snacks.
Barley and Oat locally sources their ingredients locally where possible, and uses organic products in their dishes too. Barley and Oats also tries to avoid foods that could cause food allergies for the baby, such as dairy and wheat products. These are foods that are commonly allergens, especially in children. Since breastfeeding is the best option for your baby, it is important to have nutritional support for your body as well.
Who do their products benefit?
Barley and Oats’ products benefit those trying to conceive, expectant mothers, and breastfeeding mothers. The nutritional needs for getting pregnant, staying pregnant, and breastfeeding a baby are higher than normal day-to-day diet needs, and Barley and Oats takes this into account when they are making their recipes.
If you thought pregnancy takes a lot of special nutritional attention, you should see what it takes to nurse a baby! The nutritional needs of a breastfeeding woman are even more important than growing the baby in her body. It takes time and knowledge to adequately care for your body while breastfeeding an infant. Barley and Oats take the guesswork and worry out of nutrition while you focus on the important parts of pregnancy: you and your baby.
Whatever your needs are, Barley and Oats provides comprehensive nutrition in convenient meals and snacks. Their products do not contain GMO’s, trans fats, refined sugars, or preservatives. All of the ingredients are organic, all fish is wild caught, natural, all produce is locally sourced (when possible), all meat animals are grass fed, and all herbs are processed in stainless steel (so no plastic residues are left behind). This ensures quality of the highest standard for you and your baby; from development to breastfeeding.
What type of lifestyle would their products be best for?
Barley and Oats products would benefit any woman who is pregnant and/or nursing. Their meals are designed for convenience and full nutrition. You can order Barley and Oats products in different increments, pending your needs and busy schedule. Some women may only want Barley and Oats to help with dinner, while some women may benefit from having Barley and Oats handle meals and snacks.
Barley and Oats also maintains that nutrition is important for conception, and may be able to help conceive by ensuring the woman’s body is in prime shape for carrying a baby. The healthier a woman is, the better chances of getting pregnant and carrying a healthy baby. Balanced nutrition is the first step to start a healthy pregnancy.
Barley and Oats knows that the first few months after having a baby are tough and sleep-deprived. Making a balanced diet can be nearly impossible with everything else that new parents have to deal with. Since breastfeeding requires such high levels of vitamins and minerals, Barley and Oats takes the worry out of balancing a new mother’s diet.
How can I order from Barley and Oats?
Barley and Oats products can be ordered from their website and www.barleyandoats.com. There are several different offers and increments to choose from based on your needs and plans. Their meals are delivered Sunday or Tuesday evenings, with ice packs. The insulated totes keep the meals cold and prevent them from going bad.
Currently, Barley and Oats only delivers in New York– specifically Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Bronx, Jersey City, Edgewater, and Westchester County. In order for regular delivery, you have to reside in one of these locations. Barley and Oats will ship gifts nationwide, but currently their area for regular orders is limited to the areas listed above.
You can purchase the meals in 5 meals/week, 10 meals/week, and 15 meals/week increments. Because not everyone needs a fill-in for every single meal per week, the different options make meals convenient and worry free no matter how many you need each week.
Do they have a way for me to try before I buy?
Barley and Oats now offers a one-day trial for purchase. You can purchase a one-day box, just to see if their products are right for you. This ensures you are satisfied with how it works before you purchase other quantities. The one-day sample box includes three full sized meals, delivered right to your door so you can test the products for yourself.
