More About Our Meals

Life Is So Endlessly Delicious

The Trail Food Company wants you to have the best meals, which is why all our meals are hand-made in small batches and packed to order.

Every single item gets a proper taste test to ensure that the flavour, consistency, and nutrition meet our own expectations of what we would want from a meal in our kitchens at home. The environmental impact of our products plays a crucial role in our decision-making, and we understand the importance of each product’s packaging, size, weight, and water requirements.

You can rest assured that each meal has to pass our own criteria before we sell it.

Something You've Always Wanted To Know

How Does Food Dehydration Work?

Dehydrating food preserves it and prevents it from spoiling in the most natural way.

The dehydration process removes moisture from the food, which inactivates enzymes that would normally allow bacterial and other spoilage microorganisms to grow.

There is already a vast community of people in North America who make their own or purchase dehydrated food for long hikes and trails, as the advantages of this preservation method are undeniable.

Something You Might Need To Know

How to Store Your Dehydrated Food
Some dehydrated foods can last on the shelf for years if properly packed and stored.

We recommend that you store your Trail Food meals in a cool, dark cupboard until you’re ready for your hike, cycle, or camping trip.

If you’re going on a longer trip, chat with us about additional options. Once opened, you should use all the dried food, as the meal will begin to spoil once the seal is broken or moisture gets into the food.
