Welcome to Field to Field
Food blogs for hunters and havesters
Welcome to Field to Feast — a survival recipe-sharing website with a mission. We’ve built this site specifically for hunters and harvesters. Whether you’re bagging your own wild game, foraging the forest, or planting your own crops, this website is dedicated to you—and anyone else interested in living off the land. I invite you to join me on my journey of self-education through the sharing of tips and tricks that lead to a bigger, better bounty.
At Field to Feast, I want to promote being better stewards of the land by living a healthy, holistic lifestyle based on what nature can naturally provide. Some may call this a whole-food diet, while others might label it something like primal, paleo, neolithic, or carnivore. The truth is, I know very little about any of these diets, but I want to explore them all ... my approach to this website may end up being something more blended. While I talked about diets here, this site isn’t limited to just food recipes, I want this site to explore survival recipes. i.e. recipes for life.
This website offers two primary features to the public: the ability to share recipes and the ability to share tips and tricks through a blog-type format. Your blog posts and recipes will be interlinked under your own profile, created to showcase everything you’ve shared. Your profile can function as a shareable mini-blog, perfect for anyone interested in starting a food blog but intimidated by the technical side of things.
The mission of this website isn’t just about sharing recipes and tips, but about giving back to the hunting community. If you share a recipe here, you won’t be getting paid—but it will be for a good cause. We plan to offer a “build-your-own cookbook” service that caters to hunting, foraging, and farming organizations. These select organizations will be able to choose from any of the recipes listed on the site to create their own branded fundraising cookbook, and we’ll handle the printing and shipping on their behalf.
