Backpacker’s Pantry

A brand of American Outdoor Products, Backpacker’s Pantry is one of the world’s foremost producers of freeze-dried meals. Our facility is in the amazing town of Boulder Colorado. We have been here for over 25 years and still love it as much as the day we moved here from Northern California. We have built our own facility on land we own. We have made it as tight as we can, meaning R20 walls and a R40 ceiling to keep the building warm in the winter and cooler in the summer. We have installed in floor radiant heat because it uses so much less energy to heat our facility. We have also installed air conditioning systems that use outside air if it is cooler than the air temperature we would like for our indoor environment. We hope to add a large solar array when we can afford to. Currently we use 100% wind power to power the facility. We also recycle and compost at our facility and hope to make our packaging recyclable and/or compostable when it is available in the market. We do have a recycling program for our pouches through Terracycle.
