E475 – Fernweh Food Co.

July 22, 2019Adventure, Bicycling, Business, Food, Kitchensprocketpodcast

Ashley Lance was tired of dehydrated camping meals that didn’t deliver on flavor and nutrients for the price paid. Enter Fernweh Food Co., bringing quality and sustainability together in beautifully delicious combinations as a vegan adventure food ready to go from the package. We chat about how this got started and what goes into the venture.
