Beyond the awesome cake and Farm Food, we used lots of details to create our John Deer Farm theme for GR’s 2nd birthday.

I strung John Deere balloons as decoration, but they quickly became a party activity as well.

The photo backdrop from Oriental Trading Company with personalized photo props from Let’s Get Decorative on Etsy (with some other items I gathered) was both decoration and fun activity.

The only other decorating I really did was the birthday banner. I was sad to discover that there were no John Deere scrapbook papers. I made this from these digital papers (but it took a lot of ink). It probably isn’t the most efficient method, but I prefer printing the letters, cutting them out, and gluing them in place.

Johnny Pop microwave popcorn made an easy party favor. The Johnny Tractor thank you cards were right; we had bales of fun!

Farm, John Deere, recipe

Food is an important part of any party. Since John Deere Farm was our theme, it was important to have farm-fresh that fit with the theme. This is actually easier than other thematic menus.
HPG Farm Food popcorn and seedsJust like the theme of this year’s Indiana State Fair popcorn is a great party food that relates to farming. We also served corn on the cob.
HPG Farm Food corn on the cobFarmers plant seeds and garlic-roasted pumpkin seeds is surprisingly easy and so good. Spread raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas) on a baking tray, add melted coconut oil, sea salt, and garlic. Roast in the oven at approximately 350, stirring occasionally.
HPG Garlic roasted pumpkin seeds ingredientsFresh blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are easy party food. Bonus points if you picked your own!
HPG Farm Food berriesCarrots grow in the ground and carrot sticks are another easy munchy food. A two year old birthday calls for (kosher, all beef) hotdogs.
HPG Farm Food carrots hotdogsPulled Pork (from Locally Grown Gardens) and wheat buns nearly cover all parts of a well-rounded meal.
