As a leading manufacturer in the production of freeze dried, storable Emergency Preparedness Foods, StoreHouse Foods pays close attention to the news and current events.  It is no secret that natural disasters and unexpected emergencies have devastating affects on people around the world, but how much thought do people really give to preparing for such emergencies?

The fact is, when it comes to natural disasters and emergencies most people think “It is never going to happen to me.”   This mind set causes people to do little or nothing to prepare for such occurrences.  Because StoreHouse Foods has a sincere passion for helping people prepare for such events, we are on a mission to help people understand that emergencies can happen to anyone, anywhere, at anytime.

When you make the choice to be prepared for anything, you will gain peace of mind knowing that you will able to feed yourself and your loved ones under any circumstances.  Fuel and electricity are not required to prepare StoreHouse Foods’ large selection of delicious, freeze dried, storable meals.  As long as you have water, you can eat well balanced meals that are calorically appropriate for your needs.

If you are still on the fence as to whether you should take steps to prepare for natural disasters and unexpected emergencies, follow the links below.  The information you will encounter in these news stories and current events will shine a light on the very real need for a planned emergency food system.

Most people don't like to think about emergencies, and of those people even fewer are prepared for them. Perhaps we could all learn a lesson from the Girl and Boy Scouts of America and give emergency preparedness a second thought. A quote from the first handbook for Girl Guides (now Girl Scouts), says:


"The motto of the Girl Guides is "Be Prepared". Why is this? It is because, like the other Guides, you have to be prepared at any moment to face difficulties and even dangers by knowing what to do and how to do it."


Those are wise words indeed. StoreHouse Foods is a family owned company that also believes in the importance of "being prepared", and we have built a thriving business based on this concept. At StoreHouse Foods we say "Our company goal is to bring awareness to consumers of the options that are available when it comes to planning to feed your family in an emergency."

Since our inception in 1998, StoreHouse Foods has been a leader in the selling of the best storable foods available. Our message is clear and simple: "Knowing that you are prepared brings peace of mind in any emergency situation."

Are you prepared? Chances are you have thought about preparing, but have never gotten around to it. StoreHouse Foods is here to help, because we know that some day you may actually need to depend on a food reserve system. StoreHouse Foods has shelf-stable food systems that will meet all of your needs. Our exclusive "No Cooking Required" systems can be eaten "as is", or you can prepare them by simply adding hot or cold water to reconstitute.

Check out the many benefits StoreHouse Foods has to offer:

- Food selections are broad spectrum and include gluten free and vegetarian options

- Food selections are all natural, and completely free of artificial preservatives, flavorings,colorings, MSG, and white sugar

- Food selections are familiar, everyday foods enjoyed by adults and children and offer a balanced diet

- Food can be prepared with a limited amount of fuel and water

- StoreHouse Foods utilizes the latest technologies to offer the longest shelf life possible

  (3-15 years depending on selection)

- Our Emergency Preparedness Experts will answer your questions free of charge via the StoreHouse Foods website or blog

- We offer generous servings for all food selections to ensure 2000+ calories per day

- Manufacturing facilities are inspected daily by a U.S.D.A. resident inspector and comply with strict standards for wholesomeness and cleanliness

- Many selections are organically grown and our beef products are hormone free

- Most food selections can be prepared right inside the can or pouch

And now for the $50,000 dollar question: "How does the food taste?" Here's the verdict... the food really tastes great! Even my gluten intolerant ultra-finicky seven year loves the gluten free Mashed Potatoes and Country Gravy with Turkey. She enjoys it so much, that she even asks for second helpings!  In fact, everyone who tries StoreHouse Foods’ wide selection of meals has given them rave reviews.

We want to know what your favorite StoreHouse Foods selections are… please leave a comment after this post and let us know!

Cheers!
