Help launch Field & Pantry, home of Storm Ready Foods.
Field & Pantry is being built in Miami Springs to create freeze-dried Storm Ready meals and shelf-stable pantry items for South Florida families preparing for hurricane season, power outages, and unexpected hard times.
Support helps secure commercial kitchen access, finish acquiring commercial production equipment, source ingredients, prepare packaging, and produce our first Storm Ready meals.

Preparedness should be practical, local, and useful before people need it.
Freeze-drying helps create lightweight, shelf-stable meals that preserve flavor, texture, color, and nutrition better than many traditional preservation methods. When packaged and stored properly, many freeze-dried foods can stay shelf-stable for years, with some products lasting up to 25 years.
For South Florida
Hurricane season is the obvious reminder, but backup food also matters during power outages, house fires, medical issues, job loss, and hard seasons.
For real households
The goal is not fear. The goal is readiness: practical meals and pantry items families would actually want to eat and keep on hand.
For the first run
Founding support helps us prepare first-run Storm Ready meals, test products, improve packaging, and build the production foundation the right way.
Early supporters help shape the first products.
Any amount helps. Supporters at the levels below will receive first-run meal thank-yous once production begins, plus early access to new product updates.
$50 and $100
$50 - 1 first-run Storm Ready meal + early access.
$100 - 2 first-run Storm Ready meals + early access.
$250 and $500
$250 - 2 first-run meals, 2 desserts + early access.
$500 - 4 first-run meals, 2 desserts + early access.
$1,000 Founding Sponsor
4 first-run meals, 4 desserts, 4 snacks, early access, founding sponsor recognition, and 2 production-ready Storm Ready meals per month for 12 months once steady production begins.
Funding goal
The launch goal is $11,000. If the goal is not met and the launch cannot move forward, I will return supporter funds through GoFundMe.
Sharing helps too.
If you cannot support today, following the Facebook page or sharing Field & Pantry with someone local still helps move this forward.
