Has anyone seen any farm-themed snacks?
Next week is G's turn to bring snacks to preschool. They are doing a farm theme for the week, and since I'm a dork I was hoping to bring appropriate snacks. I'd totally make something up myself, but you can't bring homemade things. I am hoping to find something along the line of animal crackers, but in like horses and pigs rather than zoo animals. I did a little googling, but only found one random company and I worry they wouldn't get here on time.
Any ideas of a local place that might have something like this? Or some creative alternative?

what about those Annie's bunny crackers?
do you need snacks for multiple days? Could you do things that farmers would grow or eat? some sort of oat granola bar, corn puffs/pops (Kix?), maybe a wheat tortilla or pita with hummus or PB or other goo to stuff in it? and some yummy fruits? so that the snack is as close to "whole" and farm fresh as possible? apple slices? and if you need apples let me know, as my dad brought a ton of apples I need to share!!!
real apples or somewhere i know i've seen some freeze dried apple snack packs.
Just a thought, but i vagley remember a long time ago that some one in my class took a recipe to i think hy-vee and since hy-vee made it, it was ok to bring to school.
Try the Heart of Iowa store on 5th street in valley junction. According to their website they have cute little mini chocolates shaped like tractors/pigs/cows/corn and they also have bigger candy suckers in those same shapes. Here's the link I looked at but I'm sure they have more fun stuff if you go to the store and look around.
