Meals For The Field

Head here for a free PDF download of tips, meal plan and templates to help with harvest this year.

I know you're here for Farmer approved meals but.. First of all - THANK YOU for feeding a farmer. Yes, the farmers feed us by growing all our food but I just want to take a moment to say a huge Thank You to all of your wonderful people who are in charge of keeping your farmer and their crew FED. There are thousands of us out there going through the exact same triumphs and struggles every season. So when you get a call saying you need to go for part when you just started shaping your precious buns, know that you're not alone. You are amazing and every single person in the field is ecstatic to see you arrive each day with some dinner.

I have a Free Farmer Approved 7 Day Meal Plan filled with templates, tips and tricks and more for feeding a farmer and their crew. You can download that FREE PDF here.

In addition to the guide I thought that the internet is a big beautiful place with many talented food bloggers. Here are a few of my favourite recipes from them to take to the field for a famer and their crew for a Harvest Meal. I have broken them down into 7 categories of Farmer Approved Meals:

• Instant Pot
• Slow Cooker
• Casseroles
• Dietary Restrictions (GF, Vegan etc)
• Breakfast
• Sides
• Salads
