The importance of homemade food is accentuated with our own-grown or locally grown organic produce for your next adventure. No pesticides, no chemicals and all nutrients preserved creating ideal meals to recover your energies after a long day of exploring in Patagonia.
We harvest our greens when they are juicy and perfectly ripe and bring them to your table. In our solar dehydrators we dry the food we are not consuming, taking advantage of our peak-season produce and making it last while at the same time preserving all the nutrients and delicious flavors from that exact moment when the greens are freshly harvested. Through experimenting we have developed camp recipes with a local twist always procuring hygiene, preservation of nutrients and prepared with a lot of love and passion.
We know exactly what you eat.
All our food is based on fresh organic own-grown or local produce. However, the Expedition food has additionally undergone an innovative process: solar dehydration that secures a lightweight and high value food in the backcountry. By handling most of the food in a sterile environment before heading on the trail.
In DEFY BASE CAMP we use mainly fresh food in our recipes combined with dehydrated produce to take advantage of the season.
This concept is in constant development as we test and improve a long the way. Until now we have not found a replacement for the plastic used for vacuuming the expedition food, however, we are very aware and always on the lookout for the environmentally best solution. First however we have to prioritize food hygiene and correct storage. By cleaning the plastic after use, carrying it out and incorporate it as a future building material we take responsibility for our waste.
