Creating the most perfect and
beautiful picnic is a fun activity in the summer time. Whether we are out
camping in the mountains, trail riding in the woods, or hanging out at home in
the country, we take our picnics seriously. It’s important to nourish the mind
and body, and what better way to do that then blend food and the outdoors
together? Grab your quality wool blankets and picnic basket, y’all.
Although we favor garden
fresh fruits and veggies, you can find most makings for a summertime picnic at
your local grocery store. Stocking up on the essentials means you will never be
left stranded. Below are our top must-haves for planning a perfect summer picnic.
Basket
This sounds obvious, but make
sure you get one that is big and sturdy enough to hold all your food, utensils,
etc.
Cloth Napkins
They don’t blow away and it’s
more sustainable than paper napkins
Wooden Plates
More sustainable than paper
and plastic.
Food
Pack the makings for a good
charcuterie board to kick things off. Quality prosciutto, salami, goat cheese,
fontina, and gouda. Add a touch of organic raw honey, some good quality organic
crackers, and a sprinkle of your favorite nuts (such as pumpkin or almonds).
Hummus and pita chips
A bowl of fresh blackberries
A good bottle of wine. White
wine or champagne with berries is a summertime favorite!
Sparkling water
Garden fresh veggies on a
millet and quinoa loaf. Pre-slice ahead of time and add smashed avocados,
heirloom tomatoes sprouts, and a little pesto.
A Good Book
For post-meal relaxation
