Back-to-School Meal Prep Starts in the Freezer

Back-to-School Meal Prep Starts in the Freezer

Back-to-school season brings a flurry of activity: new schedules, homework, sports practices, and the daily question of "What’s for dinner?"

At Five Oaks Farm, we know how busy family life gets. With three kids of our own, we understand that when evenings are packed, dinner needs to be simple, fast, and (most importantly) something your family actually wants to eat.

That’s where freezer-friendly, farm-raised Wagyu beef comes in.

Why Your Freezer is Your Secret Weapon A stocked freezer means fewer last-minute store runs, less takeout, and more peace of mind. It’s not just about convenience—it’s about having real, trustworthy food ready to go on your schedule.

Wagyu ground beef, patties, and steaks freeze beautifully. That means you can:

  • Batch prep meals ahead of time

  • Cook once, eat twice (or three times!)

  • Thaw and sear premium cuts when company drops in

Quick Meal Ideas Using Your Wagyu Bundle Our curated boxes make it easy to mix and match. Here are a few of our family favorites:

  • Wagyu Taco Night: Use ground beef or patties for quick tacos or burrito bowls

  • Wagyu Sliders: A kid favorite that also impresses guests

  • Steak + Veggie Sheet Pan Dinner: Toss it all on one tray, roast, done

  • Snack Stick Power Packs: Throw into lunchboxes for clean, satisfying protein on the go
