Re: <u>Registration Statement on Form S-8</u>

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Once Upon a Farm, PBC, a Delaware public benefit corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on or about the date hereof under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), relating to the issuance by the Company of an aggregate of up to 3,919,452 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), consisting of: (i) up to 3,563,138 shares of Common Stock that may be issued by the Company under the Once Upon a Farm, PBC 2026 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the "2026 Omnibus Plan") and (ii) up to 356,314 shares of Common Stock that may be issued by the Company under the Once Upon a Farm, PBC 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP" together with the 2026 Omnibus Plan, the "Plans"), including shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance as a result of annual evergreen increases under the Plans and shares that may again become available for delivery with respect to awards under the Plans pursuant to the share counting, share recycling and other terms and conditions, as and if applicable.

In reaching the opinion set forth herein, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents and records of the Company and such statutes, regulations and other instruments as we deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion, including (i) the corporate and organizational documents of the Company, (ii) minutes and records of the corporate proceedings of the Company with respect to the Registration Statement, (iii) the Plans and (iv) the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto.

We have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of the signatures of persons signing all documents in connection with which this opinion is rendered, the authority of such persons signing on behalf of the parties thereto (other than the Company) and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by the parties thereto (other than the Company). We have not independently established or verified any facts relevant to the opinion expressed herein, but have relied upon statements and representations of the officers and other representatives of the Company.

February 10, 2026

We have further assumed that at all future times relevant to this opinion the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue pursuant to its charter will exceed the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is obligated to issue (or had otherwise reserved for issuance) for any purposes by at least the number of Shares.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing qualifications, assumptions and limitations and the further limitations set forth below, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued, delivered and paid for in accordance with the terms of the applicable Plan and the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Company's Bylaws, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We do not find it necessary for the purposes of this opinion, and accordingly we do not purport to cover herein, the application of the securities or "Blue Sky" laws of the various states to the issuance and sale of the Shares.

This opinion is limited in all respects to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. We express no opinion as to any other law or any matter other than as expressly set forth above, and no opinion as to any other law or matter may be inferred or implied herefrom. The opinion expressed herein is rendered as of the date hereof, and we expressly disclaim any obligation to update or supplement this letter or advise you of any change in any matter after the date hereof.

This opinion may be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission.

This opinion is furnished to you in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise relied upon for any other purpose.

<sup>1</sup> (1) Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this registration statement ("Registration Statement") shall also cover any additional shares of the Registrant's common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the "Common Stock") which become issuable under the Once Upon a Farm, PBC 2026 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("2026 Omnibus Plan") by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, as applicable.

(3) The Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Unit is estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee in accordance with Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act.

<sup>2</sup> (1) Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act, this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of the Registrant's Common Stock which become issuable under the Once Upon a Farm, PBC 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, as applicable.
