Fall is the time of year that children everywhere head back to school and a healthy and wholesome lunch is an important part of every school child’s day. In most schools, students have the option of bringing their own lunch, leaving parents wondering what foods are best to pack. North Coast Organic is here to help.

According to the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, menus in most school lunch programs are too high in saturated fat and cholesterol and too low in fiber-and nutrient-rich fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. Major changes are needed to encourage the health of the nation’s youth and to reverse the growing trends of obesity, early-onset diabetes, and hypertension in children and teens.

We are proud of the fact that North Coast Organic products make a wholesome, healthy and satisfying addition to any child’s lunchbox. Our organic apple sauces come packed in convenient pouches, so that your child doesn’t need a spoon to enjoy them. We offer four tasty varieties: regular apple sauce, apple sauce with cinnamon, apple sauce with berries, and apple sauce with strawberries. If you prefer your apple sauce served in a cup, we have that too, in four flavors: regular apple sauce, apple sauce with cinnamon, apple sauce with berries, and apple sauce with apricots.

Looking for a delicious and nutritious beverage for the lunchbox? We’ve got you covered with that too! Our organic apple juices are hard to beat and come in convenient 10 oz. bottles. With organic apples as the only ingredient, it’s like biting into a fresh apple, just picked from the orchard. Most other juices have water, concentrates, and ascorbic acid in their ingredients.

Here’s why our North Coast Organic products are so good for your child:

We use only USDA certified organic apples grown in the United States. That means our products are free of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and dyes, and aren’t processed using industrial solvents, irradiation, or genetic engineering. Many juices made by other brands are created from apples that were imported into the United States, including China. You can always trust that North Coast Organic apple sauces and juices are made from US fruit, and that they are safe, wholesome, and healthy for your child.

We don’t add sugars, preservatives, colorings or flavorings, including ascorbic acid. Instead, we take great care to maintain the innate sweetness, vitamins and minerals of our fresh apples so that everyone can enjoy their natural goodness. It’s hard to beat what mother-nature already provides.

Our apple sauces are chunky, so they are more filling and satisfying. Where other brands opt for a smooth-textured sauce, we love our chunky style. This makes our apple sauces taste more like real fruit, and the kind of sauce Grandma used to make.

All of our juices and sauces are made from fresh fruit, rather than made from concentrate. Fresh apples, spices, and berries are delivered to our facility in Sebastopol, CA so that we can make the freshest, tastiest products you’ll find anywhere.

If you have a child entering school this fall, we invite you to check out our healthy and nutritious school lunch box additions at markets and grocery stores near you.
