From Farm to Lunchbox

September 6, 2025

September signals a shift—from the slow, sun-soaked days of summer to the early mornings and busy rhythm of back-to-school life. Even in the rush, a nourishing lunch can make all the difference. That’s why we believe it starts with the best ingredients—fresh from the farm and packed with purpose.
And trust us—we feel you.
Trying to come up with lunch ideas every day that are healthy and something your kids will actually eat? It’s hard. We’ve been there. That’s why we put together this little resource—to help take some of the pressure off your plate (literally).
What’s a bento box, you ask?
A bento box is a Japanese-style lunchbox made up of small, thoughtfully packed portions of different foods—think protein, veggies, fruit, and a little fun surprise. It’s the perfect way to keep lunches colorful, balanced, and exciting (especially for picky eaters!).
This month, we’re sharing a week’s worth of farm-fresh bento box ideas to make healthy eating fun, playful, and totally doable. From bright pops of produce to creative little touches, each lunch is a tiny celebration of real food—ready to fuel a full school day.
You've got this—and we’re here to help.
