Five years of Autumn with Field Roast

This is my fifth Halloween working for Field Roast. My fifth fall and my fifth holiday season. I love that if you take a moment to make note of all the cycles in the seasons, it gives you something to appreciate about where you are now...and where you have been. Field Roast definitely has much to be grateful for. This year we boast 35 employees, all of which we can still squeeze into the common room for a feast once a month to celebrate our work together making food for all of you.

Perhaps many of you have known of Field Roast longer than I have, that you are part of the lucky few that ate a Celebration Roast in 2005 or before for Thanksgiving. They were hard to find those days! I remember the slew of calls in 2006 that began about now and ended in January, those asking desperately "WHERE can I find a Celebrity Roast!!" Of course now I hardly ever hear someone call our Stuffed Celebration Roast by its infamous misnomer, though many still insist it is THE Field Roast. "It's all Field Roast" I answer with a grin.

This year, there is a new beautiful box for the 2 pound Celebration Roast, only slightly different from last years inaugural box design, and it can be found in the freezer set. Not to be forgotten is our 1 pound roast, that is just perfect for a couple or trio of folks that get together for a meal. Next up? A blog telling the story of our newest retail stuffed delicacy...stay tuned.

Recipe: Smoked Tomato BBQ

Sausages, Smoked Tomato Field Roast on the Grill with Corn

On July 31st, our Field Roast family got together at a local park for some good ol' summer fun. We ate, played kickball, and even had a couple of pinatas for the kids. We have a great group of folks here at Field Roast, and it is always nice to see eachothers kids, spouses and loved ones all together, celebrating!

We, of course, do not serve animal meat at our common meals. And so for those who think that it is difficult to feed a group of 60 without a ground beef burger in sight, this blog is for you. We grilled our popular grain meat Sausages on the park provided grills, but we also wanted something on a burger bun.

In comes the Smoked Tomato Field Roast BBQ. You may remember back in the FR days of old when the BBQ Field Roast was an item you could buy from us directly. You would have to have been in the food service industry, but we still get phone calls and emails from time to time

asking about this sweet and tangy recipe. It is rediculously simple and so let us share the magic with you!

Get your favorite barbeque sauce, grill up some onions in it, and slather it on top of a slab of Smoked Tomato slices or Quarter loaf sliced (grilled or sauteed a bit first of course). You can even julienne it for a pulled meat type of feel, and mix it all together. Scrumdiddlyumptious.

We've been nibbled!

Field Roast won the Gold Star from The Nibble, an online magazine for foodies, as the Gold Star winner of the NASFT Winter Fancy Food show! Since there are over 80,000 specialty food products to taste at this show, to be picked as the overall favorite is awesome!

Based on excellence and innovation The Nibble chose us because we:

[Create] such a delicious line of food—regardless of whether it is vegan or otherwise... The fact that it is meatless but tastes and looks as good as meat means two things:

People who need to avoid cholesterol can have food that is just as delicious as what they enjoyed previously. And people who want to eat less meat (or no meat) for ethical reasons or to slow down global warming (18% of greenhouse gases are attributed to the methane produced by animals bred for meat) have a truly wonderful option here.

But you already knew that right? :)
