Meal Prep and Freezer Meals from the Farm Kitchen
Life on the farm keeps us busy — between caring for animals, baking sourdough, and keeping up with family life, mealtime can sneak up fast. That’s why we’ve learned the beauty of meal prep and freezer meals: simple, homemade dishes that make dinnertime easy without sacrificing flavor or nutrition.
Whether you’re feeding a family or just trying to simplify your week, a little preparation can go a long way. Here are some of our favorite ways to make mealtime stress-free and full of farm-fresh flavor.
🍲 Why We Love Meal Prep
Meal prepping doesn’t mean eating the same thing every day — it means planning ahead so wholesome food is always within reach. By cooking in batches and freezing extra portions, you can enjoy hearty, homemade meals even on the busiest days.
From soups to sourdough bakes, having a few ready-to-go options in the freezer saves time, reduces waste, and helps your family eat well all week long.
🥖 1. Sourdough-Freezer-Friendly Favorites
Our sourdough mixes make meal prep a breeze. You can bake double batches and freeze extras for quick, fresh meals later.
Sourdough Biscuits: Bake a batch, let cool, and freeze. Reheat in the oven for a perfect side to soups or breakfast sandwiches.
Sourdough Pancakes or Waffles: Make extra, layer with parchment paper, and freeze. Pop them in the toaster for a fast, farm-fresh breakfast.
Sourdough Bread Bowls: Freeze after baking and cool completely. They’re great for ladling in chili, stew, or creamy soup on a cold day.
🍅 2. Hearty Freezer Meals for Busy Days
Use what’s growing in your garden or stored in your pantry to create simple freezer meals you’ll actually look forward to.
Farmhouse Chicken Pot Pie: Loaded with veggies, herbs, and a buttery sourdough crust — it freezes beautifully.
Vegetable Soup or Chili: Make a big pot, cool, and portion into containers. Perfect for grab-and-go lunches.
Homemade Meatballs: Mix with herbs and freeze raw or cooked. They make quick meals when paired with pasta or sourdough rolls.
🧄 3. Simple Prep Tips
Label Everything: Write the name and date on each container — your future self will thank you!
Freeze Flat: Store soups, sauces, or stews in freezer bags laid flat for easy stacking.
Batch Cook Base Ingredients: Roast a sheet pan of vegetables, cook extra rice, or make a big pot of beans to use in different meals through the week.
❄️ 4. Bringing Comfort to the Table
There’s something deeply satisfying about pulling a homemade meal from the freezer and serving it to your family. It’s a small act of love that makes even the busiest days feel a little more peaceful.
Meal prep doesn’t just save time — it helps you stay connected to your kitchen, your ingredients, and the rhythms of the season.
💛 From Our Farm to Yours
Homemade food doesn’t have to be complicated — it just needs to be made with care. With a little planning and creativity, your freezer can become a treasure chest of nourishing, home-cooked meals ready whenever you need them.
So grab your sourdough mix, pull out your favorite baking dish, and start stocking your freezer with comfort and love — the homestead way.
