Inspired by their own children, Cheryl and her sister, Joan Ahlers,

created Fresh Baby, in 2002. They wanted to offer all-

natural food for kids of all ages and support parents in teaching them to

make healthy food choices.

Since its inception, Fresh Baby was chosen as an Entrepreneur Magazine

“Hot Company to Watch in 2004,” won an iParenting award, was one of five

finalists in the new product awards at the 2004 Natural Products Show, and

has been featured in The Detroit Free Press, Fit Pregnancy, New Parent,

Mothering, Organic Style, and more.

“When the Sloan brothers asked me to join the StartupNation community,

I jumped at the chance,” states Tallman. “Being an entrepreneur is

challenging, so is being a parent, and I love being both! I’m looking

forward to building relationships with people looking to exchange ideas

that accelerate their business, and sharing secrets to enjoying and

juggling family and business.”

According to the Center for Women’s Business Research, women-owned

businesses have grown at twice the rate of other businesses over the last

two decades and are expected to generate more than $1 trillion in

revenues, said Jeff Sloan, StartupNation Co-founder.

“With our new blog
