Sample 5 Day Lunch Menu The truest culinary axiom is that the finished dish will only be as good as the ingredients. Our ingredients are organic, fresh, locally grown slow foods and minimally processed. As a result, your child's lunch is delicious and healthy. Other lunches are prepared with over-processed, nutritionally barren foods that are manufactured, packaged and labeled, "organic" from far off locations. We have developed and foster a relationship with America's premier certified purveyor of organic and natural products, along with local slow food farms. The Farmer's Daughter deliberately selects only the premium, whole and seasonal foods available, stemming from the simple belief that every person has the right to reclaim what is natural -- a healthy body and a healthy planet. We care right down to the purity of mineral salt from ancient sea beds. The Farmer's Daughter is the natural choice providing a variety of conscious-living, whole foods to reallocate your child's lunch money. Save money, valuable time and endless trips to the grocery store. Avoid foods that are processed with preservatives that your grandmother would not recognize. The Farmer's Daughter whole food lunches are a simple alternative for changing lunch money into a waste-free, healthy choice.
We believe every person should eat 100% food. The Farmer's Daughter's lunch contains no trans-fats, no hydrogenated oil, no artificial coloring, no artificial preservatives, no artificial flavors, no artificial sweeteners, no genetically modified or engineered ingredients, no corn syrup, no excessive sodium.
Select an entrée from our weekly and
monthly rotating menu that satisfies either omnivore or veggie-tarian.
Our Children's Page features submission of your child's favorite

it a part of their lunchbox revolution!
