Vegetarian Creamy Mushroom Pasta

Our meals couldn’t be easier to prepare, whether you’re out in the wilderness or enjoying one at home!

Simply remove the oxygen absorber before adding the correct quantity of rapidly boiling water. Give everything a good stir, reseal the pouch and wait. Once the suggested period of time has passed, give another good stir and feast on!

Precise instructions showing the correct quantity of water to use and time to wait before eating are shown on the back of each meal pouch.

Our meals currently have a best-before date of 7 years. This date is printed on the back of each pouch, and it means you can be confident that you’ll enjoy a safe, great-tasting meal at any time before the best-before date.

Yes, each of our meals contains at least one of the major food allergens identified by the FDA, most often wheat, milk or soy. Our Bourbon BBQ Pulled Pork & Beans also contains mustard, which is considered an allergen by Canada.

Specific ingredients and allergens are detailed in the Nutrition Facts Panel on the back of each pouch, so if you know or believe yourself to be allergic you should review this carefully before purchase or use.

Sodium is a standard feature of all freeze-dried meals - and for good reason. When you’re hiking, climbing, or backpacking, your body loses sodium through sweat and needs it replenished to maintain hydration, muscle function, and energy.

Sports nutrition research recommends 1,000–2,000 mg sodium after endurance activity, depending on body weight, sweat rate, and activity level. Our meals are designed with this in mind, ranging from 610 mg per serving in our Mushroom Pasta to 1,160 mg in Butter Chicken. These levels are designed to support electrolyte balance and recovery when participating in strenuous activities in the backcountry.

The short answer is: quality costs more to do right.

All of our meals are sourced and produced entirely in the USA - from ingredients to packaging. We buy premium meat and vegetables directly from small, local farms, and we hand-prepare our sauces in small batches instead of relying on industrial processes. Each pouch is hand-filled to protect the large, intact cuts of meat and delicate freeze-dried components, so your meal rehydrates into real food with real texture, not mush.

We’re also a small, family-owned business without outside investors subsidizing our costs. That means we rely solely on our customers’ support to keep doing what we do best: creating better backcountry food.

We believe that what you put in your body matters. Our price reflects a commitment to quality, sustainability, and supporting a healthier food ecosystem. While not everyone can prioritize premium food, we think it’s worth asking why some meals cost only a few dollars - and what compromises are being made to get them there.
