The Science

From Farm to Freeze to Feast

We carefully manage each step – from sourcing to freeze-drying – to create products that are both flavorful and nutritious. No artificial preservatives, no compromise on quality – just real ingredients, real flavors, and real convenience.

What goes in?

The majority of our ingredients are sustainably sourced from a community of natural farmers and farming groups. Our commitment to sustainability means we add nothing unnatural to our food and remove only water—nothing else.
