Advice For Adventurers
100% Natural, 0% Nonsense
At Trail Food, we keep it real—really real. Our meals are made with only whole foods, meaning you won’t find any preservatives, additives, or unpronounceable ingredients here. No tartrazine, no emulsifiers, and definitely no MSG. Just pure, wholesome goodness. Our chicken is free-range, our meat is hormone-free and sustainably sourced, and our veggies are as local as can possibly be. It’s nature’s finest, minus the funny business.
100% Natural
Packed with Nutrition, Ready for Adventure
Trail Food meals aren’t just tasty—they’re little powerhouses of nutrition! We pack each meal with all the good stuff your body craves on the trail. Think lean proteins, vibrant veggies, and complex carbs that keep you going strong. Whether you’re scaling mountains or just taking a leisurely hike, our meals fuel your adventure with the balanced nutrition you need to conquer whatever comes your way. So go ahead, dig in—it’s like eating a high-five from Mother Nature!
Nutritious
Ever wonder why Trail Food meals are so light? It's not magic, it's science!
We zap the moisture out of our meals through dehydration—kind of like giving them an extreme makeover—removing up to 90% of their water weight. This nifty process not only keeps the food fresh and free from pesky bacteria but also makes it so light you’ll barely notice it in your backpack. So go ahead, pack that extra pair of socks—you’ve got room, thanks to our featherweight, flavour-packed meals!
Lightweight
Preparing Trail Food meals is so quick and easy, it almost feels like cheating!
Here’s the foolproof five-step recipe:
- Boil water in your Jetboil (100 seconds—just enough time to snap a few photos for Instagram).
- Pour the boiling water into the meal bag (30 seconds—no culinary degree required).
- Ziplock the bag closed (5 seconds—because you’re fancy like that).
- Let it rehydrate (20 minutes on average—plenty of time to kick back, relax, and debate if that cloud looks like a buffalo or a bunny).
- Eat and enjoy (that’s up to you—savour the flavour, and maybe share if you’re feeling generous!).
Voilà! A gourmet trail meal with minimal effort—just how we like it!

We support our community
Trail Food is all about keeping it local and making a difference! We source our ingredients from community-based initiatives like Wild Impact’s Climate Resilient Communities programme, Nourish Eco Village, and Hlokomela Herb Garden, ensuring the freshest produce while providing vital cash flow to local farmers. Our beef comes from Meat Naturally, supporting sustainable rangeland management and local herders. With every meal, we’re not just delivering great food—we’re also boosting local economies, promoting sustainable practices, and supporting a network of eight local businesses. It’s a delicious way to make a positive impact!

100% We give back
At Trail Food, we believe in giving back as much as we take in (and trust us, our meals are hearty!). Through our Meals4Rangers programme, we’re fuelling the brave souls on the front lines of wildlife conservation with discounted meals. But we don’t stop there—we’re also dishing out support to youth and communities through partnerships with the Connected Planet Foundation and The President’s Award. So every time you chow down on a Trail Food meal, you’re not just feeding yourself—you’re helping to feed the spirit of adventure and making a difference where it counts!
