Wow, back to school already? Getting back to routine can be daunting or refreshing, depending on your situation. But Taylor Farms is working to make it all much easier.
Taylor Farms can make your lunchbox prep faster, your after-school snack time healthier, and your dinners easier. How? By cleaning and chopping fresh, healthy vegetables and then pairing them with the toppings, sauces, or dressing that will make you that much closer to boom! Ready!
Lunchbox Prep Made Easy
Remember that feeling of standing in the kitchen first thing in the morning staring down into an empty lunchbox? In about two minutes’ time, you’ll need to prepare a balanced, healthy lunch that your kids will actually eat, will fit into a small lunchbox, and oh, no nut products, either.
Let’s make this way easier.
Snack Packs
Taylor Farms Snack Packs are easy-open little bundles that include fresh, already-cleaned veggies, creamy dip, and in some cases, other items like fruit or turkey sticks. Find any combination that speaks to your kids’ tastes: from Veggies & Guacamole to Apples & Cheese (with Carrots and dip), or the Dill Pickle Snack Pack.
Veggie & Dip Snackers
One problem with giving kids a bag of raw carrots which won’t even be touched at lunchtime is that they won’t have anything to dip it in. Problem solved with our Carrot Chips & Dip Snacker and Celery & Dip Snacker. They’re easy to grab and easy to eat—perfect for getting a little more nutrition in your children’s lunches.
Full Meals, Ready to Go: Mini Meals & Single-Serve Salad Bowls
For an even easier lunchbox-packing experience, go for our Mini Meals (available at Walmart) or our Salad Bowls. Choose any of these complete meals and there’s no need to worry about what else to pack with it. They’re already prepped and packaged so they’re ready to go. Meaning so are you and the kids!
Channel the summer picnic with our Mini Meals. Our favorites are the Picnic in the Park Mini Meal, with fruit, cheese, and a square of chocolate, or the Protein Plus Mini Meal, with cheddar cheese cubes, fresh apples and grapes, a hardboiled egg, and flax seed corn chips.
And for those kids that can plow through a salad when it has all sorts of yummy ingredients, don’t be afraid to give them a single-serve salad bowl. Try the BLT Salad Bowl, with bacon bits, cheese, and chicken; the Fiesta Salad Bowl, with roasted corn, chicken, and shredded cheese; or the Dill Pickle Crunch Salad Bowl, with dill pickle croutons, chicken, bacon bits, and a dill pickle ranch dressing. They even come with a fork!
Healthier After-School Snacking
The kids made it through the day and they’re home and hungry. Before they reach for chips, corn-syrupy fruit snacks, or leftover pizza, see if you can intercept them with something healthier.
Vegetable Trays for Easy Snacking
We promise—set out a vegetable tray with cut veggies and ranch dip and they’ll grab at least a handful of veggies because it’s out and it’s ready.
Cut veggies are easy and healthy, whether you set out a prepared veggie tray (no prep needed), or you make your own using the kids’ favorite bite-sized vegetables like broccoli florets, vegetable medley, or snap peas.
After-School Snack: Mini Chopped Salad Kits
Another after-school option that will put your mind at ease is the mini chopped salad kits. These single-serve salads are loaded with flavor and come in a variety of sassy options like Pizza Ranch, Citrus Crunch, and classic Caesar. Open, toss, and hand them the bag, and it will make them feel refreshed, satisfied, and won’t ruin their dinner like a heavy snack would. So put the frozen burrito back, kid.
Making Dinner Prep Easier, Too
Yes, it’s time to cook. Again. But don’t worry, we’ve created a ton of shortcuts for you.

Bagged Fresh Vegetables, Ready to Cook
