This sounds great. But beware: Gray Jays are very aggressive! They will swoop in and eat your own lunch that you have in your hand while you are picnicking in the mountains. They will perch on your trekking pole until they get what they want. If they get too much human food like white bread (much of which is empty calories from a bird’s point of view) it probably will not help them survive the winter in the wild. And crows will eat the beans that you plant as seeds unless you cover them with cages.

Putting seeds in a feeder is in my view the best way to feed birds, rather than encouraging them to lose their wariness of large creatures such as us, some of whom are dangerous to them.
