Fernweh Food Company
Vendor
I’m Ashley Lance, the owner and founder of Fernweh Food Company. Originally a side hustle, Fernweh Food Co. has turned into a dream realized: sharing the food I love with people who love to adventure.
I began making my own food in 2015 for bike tours and backpacking trips because I value knowing what I'm putting into my body. On these adventures, I found that my fellow travelers were eager to try what I had made. With some encouragement from friends and my partner, I decided to give this side hustle a chance to be the real deal.
Since I began adventuring, I have found the abundance of packaging and garbage piling up at trailhead trash cans and out in the wilderness to be disheartening. In an effort to be a part of the solution, I want to make this company as earth-conscious as I can. Taking a cue from the three R's, Fernweh Food Co. is doing its part to reduce the amount of single use plastics going into the wild by utilizing packaging that is 100% reusable. We cut down on food waste and lessen our carbon footprint by using produce that is local and seasonal.
I am excited to bring a mix of passion, experience, and a taste for adventure into this exciting endeavor. Thank you for supporting this crazy dream to bring damn delicious meals in low-impact packaging to the adventurer in all of us!
We source from local farms for our seasonal snacks. Most use organic or no-spray practices. We process our food in a vegan and gluten-free kitchen.
Right now, I am responsible for 95% of what happens at our company. That being said, the company bio is basically my bio. I am lucky to have a very supportive partner who helps pick up what I cannot do on my own. His name is Daniel Carter, and he is a veteran, climber, community-driven activist, biker, and all around kind human. Our friend Allison also helps us in the winter. She works in Sequoia National Park doing maintenance in the summers. We are a very small team, but we put our heart and soul into making delicious adventure meals and local, seasonal snacks.
