Daniela Kratz started Farmhouse Lab in 2016 to offer customers a healthier choice of dressings. All her products are non-gmo, vegan, and allergy friendly. Kratz doesn’t include wheat, nut, dairy, soy or preservatives in her ingredients. Although some ingredients seem a little unusual to me, I appreciate the use of real and simple ingredients in Farmhouse Lab’s products.

When I visited the company’s Instagram, my mouth watered to see all the delicious pictures of healthy salads and veggies. The website is also very attractive and well put together. I greatly admire the Kratz’s mission and focus on health and sustainability.

A handful of different dressing flavors are available on the website. However, $16.99 for an 8-ounce bottle seems pretty pricey to me. We chose the Yup! Please, kid-friendly flavor for $10.99.

The aroma that drifted out of the bottle when we opened it nearly knocked us off our feet. It was very strong and not in a good way! Though the flavor was more tolerable, we still didn’t enjoy it.

My husband chickened out on tasting the dressing after he got a whiff, but my 4-year-old and I bravely dipped our fingers in for a taste. The strong vinegar and mustard flavor overwhelmed my taste buds. Mind you, I am not a mustard fan. I tried the dressing later on some chicken I made for dinner; however, I just couldn’t bring myself to like it.

I wouldn’t call this dressing kid friendly. It’s barely adult friendly! I’d be curious to try the other flavor options and see if my taste buds can handle them. If this is the dressing Farmhouse Lab markets for kids, I wonder how the other flavors compare. Other options include: Sunny Avocado, Berry Olive, Green Pumpkin, and Red Sunflower. For now, I have to give this dressing an IMBHO-no!
