More Help from Harmony House

We go the extra mile to find out what the needs and cravings of backpackers and campers are. Pun intended! We mean “the extra mile,” quite literally. The offices of Harmony House are located very close to the Appalachian Trail. We have gone out to the AT to talk to some of the long-distance backpackers, while they are making that incredible journey from Georgia to Maine. We’ve asked them about their food challenges on the trail. We’ve considered their answers when thinking about ways we can offer even better delicious and nutritious solutions. Our customers have noticed the fruits (ok that pun was not intended) of our research in the high quality and ease-of-use of our products. We also share the information we gather through our company website.

Looking for recipes for one pot meals, info on how to make food plans for camping trips, or tips on trail cooking? At Harmony House, we are proud to be one of the top suppliers that backpackers and campers turn to for dried vegetables and fruits for their meals on the trail. Over the years, we’ve built relationships with many experts on the subject of trail food.

We thought it might be helpful to provide a few of these online resources to our outdoor adventurer customers, to help you plan delicious trail meals. Here they are, in no particular order.

I made several pots of soup and all the veggies hydrated no problem. That said, the corn does take a little longer so don't be silly just simmer a bit longer. No the veggies are not seasoned. Season to taste don't be lazy!! We'll be using on the road #VanLife #Campervan Hubby and I are so excited. Best purchase ever!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Versatile, lightweight and high quality
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 24, 2019
Really useful variety of vegetables, handily packed in individual resealable packets. We used these for every dinner for 8 days for 2 people and have barely used a quarter, they really do go a long way.

We took them on a kayaking trip and they packed small, giving a huge variety of different meal options. For example we used them to cook pasta with vegetables, a jambalaya (rice, spices, onions, peppers, tomatoes and some salami), a green risotto with dried parmesan cheese (risotto rice, stock cube, parmesan, peas, green beans, onions, celery), mexican rice with beans, and a biryani (rice, spices, a whole mix of different vegetables). Using just one pot for the carbs and vegetables worked really well for us and meant minimal washing up which is always a bonus when camping!

Impressively the vegetables all looked and tasted remarkably normal once cooked, you would struggle to tell the difference between these and normal vegetables.

My only critique would perhaps be the balance of vegetables - you get double of a small number of the packets and perhaps if I could select myself I would have gone for just 1x potatoes and 2x onions but this is just personal preference.

I think I would struggle to do camping food without these again - having experienced how lightweight, versatile and high quality these vegetables are I will be buying them again in future.
