With formal experience in dance, Pilates and creative arts, Kristen Fields has a unique background that has led her to a once seemingly unlikely career in the food industry. Along with her partner in life, love and business, and coupled with a belief in the creative process, Fields has grown her business, Mmmpanadas, from a late-night Austin food truck to a widely distributed frozen consumer packaged good product distributed in more than 300 stores in the U.S. Fields loves collaborating with others and has a passion for creating something bigger than herself. Always valuing preparation and execution as the keys to smart business, Fields approaches food entrepreneurship with the same vibrancy she tackles life. It’s not always easy, but it sure is a great ride. In 2018, Mmmpanadas won the grand prize in H-E-B’s Quest for Texas Best competition and is on track to double its distribution in the frozen-foods aisle by the end of 2019.
