TrailFork

About the offering

TrailFork makes healthy, dehydrated food in home compostable packaging. We intend on becoming the go-to brand for convenient and healthy meals for folks on or off the trail. We're sick and tired of convenient food being high-waste. Traditionally, adventurers have had to settle when it comes to eating on the trail. We've found that freeze-dried meals—the typical solution for hikers and campers—lack flavor and nutrition, their ingredients are mysterious, and they're packed in heavy mylar pouches that can't be recycled. More and more people are getting outside to recreate. According to the Outdoor Industry Association, in 2017, 145 million people participated in outdoor sports—that's more than the attendance of NBA, NFL, and NHL games combined. Unfortunately, more people eating freeze-dried meals means more plastic waste on our trails and in our environment. By 2050, the MacArthur Foundation reports that our oceans will contain more plastic by weight than fish. So, the outdoor consumer faces a big pain point: "The food I eat in the outdoors isn't good for me, and it's not good for the planet." TrailFork offers healthy, sustainably sourced dehydrated meals in biodegradable packaging. Our portions are substantial, our ingredients clean, and our nutrition facts impressive. We believe we are the only brand in the category to use fully home compostable packaging, so that the consumer no longer has to make a choice between sustaining themselves and sustaining the environment they love to spend time in. Our solution has resonated with consumers: we've grown 9900% since our launch in 2017. By May of 2018, sporting goods powerhouse, Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) announced it would carry TrailFork in 10 stores. In January 2019, that number grew to 37 and in July 2019 it grew further to 47. Including independent retailers, this brings our total brick and mortar presence to 67 stores nationwide.
