The Farm – Organic Green Apple Mummy Orchard & Clementine Pumpkin Patch
This grab-and-go snack plate is easy to put together and sure to delight the kiddos.
Drop in your kids’ packed lunch for a fun surprise or prepare for a healthy playdate snack option.
Did you know that organic fruits and vegetables are never grown with synthetic pesticides known to harm human health?! By using organic apples and clementines you are not only protecting your children’s health but helping reduce the amount of chemicals in our air, waterways, and local communities.
For the Organic Green Apple Mummies…
You’ll need:
- A dozen small organic green apples
- Organic cotton gauze or bandage wrap
- Candy eyes
- Organic royal icing to attach the eyes
First, make your royal icing to use as an edible glue for attaching the candy eyes. Use an electric mixer to beat two organic egg whites until it turns frothy. Gradually add one cup of organic powdered sugar (¼ cup at a time), beating until soft peaks form. Add water, a few drops at a time until the consistency is stiff. Set aside.
Wrap the organic cotton gauze or bandage wrap to transform the apples into mummies and secure the eyes with the royal icing.
For the Clementine Pumpkin Patch…
You’ll need:
- A dozen organic clementines
- Organic pretzel sticks
- Organic herbs
These organic clementine pumpkins come together as easy as one, two, three:
1) Peel the clementines
2) Add an herb sprig of your preference (or whatever you have on hand)
3) Secure the herb spring with an organic pretzel stem.
Kid-friendly nutrition tip:
Organic clementines and green apples are packed with fiber and vitamin C, which help support digestion and boost immunity—perfect for keeping little monsters healthy during cold season.
Ghost Toast Organic Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup
Put a Halloween twist on the classic fall favorite grilled cheese and tomato soup with these ghost toasts! All you need to transform this basic soup and sandwich pairing is a ghost-shaped cookie cutter and some organic black olives.
Use your favorite organic cheese to make your grilled cheese sandwiches to support farmers who prioritize animal welfare and happy cows who have access to the outdoors and ability to roam freely.
While your organic tomato soup is heating on the stovetop, use a ghost-shaped cookie cutter to shape the ghost toasts and add sliced olives for spooky or happy faces. Try mixing it up with other Halloween cookie cutters like pumpkins or bats!
Kid-friendly nutrition tip:
Organic cheese provides calcium for strong bones, and organic tomato soup is rich in antioxidants like lycopene, which support heart health and immunity.

Slice bell peppers in half, saving one half for the monsters and cutting the other half into dipping strips. Add your preferred organic dip and sliced organic vegetables to a platter.
