try to find bottles of milk with cow-themed decoration.

corn muffins or cornbread with pats of butter and little jars of jam would be cute and yummy. I like giving real food like that, but it wouldn't be too expensive or complicated. the presentation can count for a lot with a theme like this - little baskets, checkered napkins, straw, that kind of thing.

We did this. We put our mishloach manos in straw hats - we bought 2 dozen from oriental trading. We also bought easter "eggs" from oriental and filled them with marshmallows. mini apple pies. mini milk bottles. fruit. chocolate animals - bought chocolate mold on ebay.

use straw baskets filled with red and white gingham fabric or tissue. bake any danishes or muffins and put a cappuccino drink.

You can also do any kind of salad - all fruits and veggies come from the farm...

we did this 3 years ago, we were farmers and my newborn was a corn on the cob. Our Mishloach Manot was some of our best crop, we did cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, apple, apple sauce in a container (There was some other things but can't remember off hand)
We did plad shirts, My big kids (9 & 11) then wore denim overalls. we all had straw hats. DH and myself wore plad shirt and black bottoms.

Simchamommy that's such a cute idea! I've also seen the haystacks made with the thin chinese noodles covered in chocolate.

please tell me if this is cute or cheap and tacky we adults are farmers one child is a cucumber one is a tomato I found small carrot cellophane shaped bags I can fit a carrot muffin in it and a plastic egg that I can put gummy candies in or I may be a able to get the mini box drinks into it so I can do a fruit juice all things from the farm . Waiting for a sample bag to come but doubt all 3 can go in please be honest and tell me what you think.

Sounds adorable elmos.
Be aware that the carrot bags are tiny. They are usually filled with some candy corn, then tied with a wrapper, and nothing else fits inside.
Someone I know used them as an addition in their MM.
Let us know what size yours are when they come.
