The story behind Babs Bone Broth

The beginning of Babs, how it started

My daughter and I started Babs Bone Broth in 2019 with nothing but an eight-liter slow cooker, a passion for the power of food, and the desire to make a change in the food industry. We wanted to bring healthy food back to the table.

You see, there’s a truth about diet that has become lost over the years: food is powerful. Good nutrition can contribute to a person’s life, health and happiness — I have seen this happen so often with my clients as a holistic health coach.

But the problem is, not everyone understands just how deep the potential of clean eating is. Nor do they know the dangers of consuming processed, unhealthy food — something many people do every day.

After publishing my book, Diet: A Prescribed Way of Life, which brings together 20 years of first-hand experience and research into how food impacts our health, I knew I had to translate the ideas in the book into something tangible — something people could taste, smell and savor.

I also knew who I wanted to work with to make my dream a reality — my daughter, Paulina Darowska.

Paulina started her first company at age 20 and is gifted with incredible business acumen. She also spent a good portion of her childhood at farmers’ markets, at the gym with me, and cooking with me in the kitchen. Because of her unique upbringing, she has a deep understanding of the value in knowing where your food comes from and how it is made.

It was also Paulina who came up with the idea for Babs Bone Broth!

While I considered opening a café focused on healthy eating, she knew we could make a greater impact by starting at the beginning — with the food I was already focused on. Before starting Babs, I was preparing broths for my clients and friends, giving them away for free because I know how effective this golden liquid is for weight loss, gut problems, illness recovery, and simply for overall wellness and revitalization.

It has also been a part of my family for generations. It’s truly in our blood! My mother was the one who taught me to drink it for health, and her mother taught her. Now I am teaching my daughter, as well as my clients and friends. Still to this day, Paulina and I drink it daily.

Now, years later, after starting out with a small kitchen and hand-printing labels, we are operating out of a state-of-the-art facility with the best equipment to slow-simmer all our wonderful broths.

Babs has grown from a small family business to an incredible team of passionate individuals — who we think of as family! We’re a fully-certified food producer and distributor shipping premium bone broths all over Europe. And we are blessed with an amazing network of farmers and a wonderful community of conscious customers who are changing the industry with us.

And this is only the beginning!
