Honeyville Food Products

Supplying 6 days of food for eighteen people in two crews for a canoe trip (that's 18 meals, 324 servings) with traditionally packaged freeze-dried food  is a real budget breaker. One can shop at the average supermarket for reasonably lightweight, nutritious and easily prepared food but freeze-dried foods really expand the menu for very little weight.

Building your own menu from freeze-dried components available at Honeyville Food Products and some components from the grocery store is much cheaper and better tasting to boot.

One comparison - One serving package of freeze-dried strawberries (.06 OZ) from Mountain House is $3.00, or a whopping $50.00 an ounce. Honeyville's #10 can of freeze-dried strawberries (6 OZ) costs $17.00, or $2.83 an ounce.

Honeyville offers a wide variety of vegetables, fruits and other foodstuffs in bulk (#10 tin cans). At this writing they will ship an order of any size anywhere in the continental U.S.A. for under five dollars - just a little more than a gallon of gas!

If you are planning an extended canoe or backpacking trip I heartily recommend looking into assembling your menu with Honeyville in mind.
