# Single-Serve Chicken Jars Farmer's Fridge Sells Seasoned Chicken Snacks in Small Containers By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-02-08 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seasoned-chicken References: [foodbusinessnews.net](http://www.foodbusinessnews.net/Resources/Slideshow/2016/12/Meat-snack-innovation/5.aspx?TipID=4) & [farmersfridge](http://www.farmersfridge.com/proteins) Farmer's Fridge is a Chicago-based business that sells its seasoned chicken cubes in a unique way. Rather than packaging them by the box or tray, Farmer's Fridge stores its [seasoned chicken snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easy-street-chicken) in BPA-free recyclable plastic jars. The two-ounce jars contain organic chicken pieces that have been cooked with just a few flavorful ingredients, including olive oil, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. A [single-serve jar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chickenbased-protein-snack) contains about 80 calories and provides 15 grams of protein. Because of the standout packaging system used by Farmer's Fridge, the [grab-and-go jars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-harvest-salad) can be returned at any Farmer's Fridge kiosk, or recycled as usual. The company also suggests a number of ways that the jar can be reused once emptied, such as repurposing it as a herb planter, a pen holder or even a sand art container. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Single-serve Packaging:** The use of small, individual containers for food products is a rising trend that provides convenience and portion control for consumers. - **Sustainable Packaging:** Businesses are embracing environmentally-friendly packaging options, such as BPA-free recyclable plastic jars, to reduce waste and appeal to eco-conscious consumers. - **Repurposing Packaging:** There is a growing trend of encouraging consumers to reuse packaging for creative purposes, providing additional value and reducing waste. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can explore single-serve packaging options to offer convenient and portion-controlled products to health-conscious consumers. - **Sustainable Packaging:** The sustainable packaging industry can capitalize on the demand for environmentally-friendly options, such as BPA-free recyclable plastic jars, by providing innovative and eco-friendly solutions. - **Craft and DIY:** Craft and DIY retailers can tap into the trend of repurposing packaging by offering creative ideas and products that enable consumers to transform empty containers into useful and decorative items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Veggie-Infused Chicken Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perdue-chicken-plus-snackers.md) - [Premade Chicken-Packed Salads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/local-bounti-grab-go-salad-kits.md) - [Protein-Packed Chicken Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tyson-chicken-cups.md) - [Versatile Diced Chicken Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-toppers.md) - [Seasoned Chicken Breast Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seasoned-chicken-breast-chunks.md) - [Snackable Protein Filets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fridge-radiers-grills.md) - [Pre-Seasoned Chicken Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farmer-focus.md) - [Flavor-Packed Ready-to-Eat Proteins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juicybite.md) - [Pre-Cooked Chicken Pouches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poultry-pouch.md)
