My name is Johnnie Banachi, and I’m starting Field & Pantry in Miami Springs because I believe preparedness should be practical, local, and built before people face a crisis. Living in South Florida reminds us how quickly normal life can be disrupted, especially during hurricane season. But storms aren't the only reason families need shelf-stable food. Power outages, house fires, job loss, medical issues, and tough times can all turn a stocked pantry into a lifeline.

Field & Pantry, home of Storm Ready Foods, is my way of helping real households prepare with freeze-dried meals and pantry items that people actually want to eat. The goal is not to create fear; the goal is to promote readiness. Miami Springs is where this starts, with Homestead and South Florida as part of the broader vision. I especially want this to support families, elderly neighbors, workers, and anyone who understands that being prepared is not extreme; it is practical.

Your support helps build the foundation for our first Storm Ready meals and a stronger, more prepared local community.
