Easy Eating for Outdoor Adventures

by Adam Fischler, Department Team Leader

Been getting out of town much lately?

Let's hope so, because summer is in full swing and the weather is great.

And if you're lacing up your boots and heading for the trail, your bulk friends at the Co-op are here to make it that much easier.

We've got your food needs covered with lots of quality trail mixes and dried foods.

If you're going on a hike but don't plan to be out too long, you'll still need some energy out there.

Well, look no further, because we have a trail mix for you.

Whether you like lots of nuts, seeds, dried fruit, chocolate or carob, we have something that you're going to love. From chocolate-filled Chocolate Nut Crunch, to Tropical Trail Mix with pineapple, coconut and banana, to High Energy Mix or our other selections, we have what you want.

If you need something a little different, how about a trail mix of sea vegetables and nuts? Just check out our large selection of mixes to see which one suits your tastes.

Can't decide? Since it's all in bulk, try a little of each.

And if you don't see just the right mix of your favorite stuff, try making your own personalized recipe.

We have a huge selection of nuts and seeds, lots of dried fruits, chocolate and carob chips, and a variety of dried sea vegetables.

Of course, camping trips require a little more sustenance than trail mix, and we have good, easy-to-pack supplies for the campers, too. We have several dried soups — flavorful and delicious.

You can make trail nachos or burritos with our dried bean mixes. How about some Hummus, Falafel or Tabouli? Still not satisfied?

We also have these other fine dried products: Potato Flakes, Vegetarian Chili, Nut/Grain Burger Mix, and vegetables that are chopped and ready for soup.

And since you asked for it, we now have Organic "Quick" Brown Rice, perfect for camp meals.

For those non-campers out there, you can try these great products at home, too. Don't have the time to cook?

How about Nature Burgers and Mashed Potatoes, or a nice pot of Chili?

Throw some tabouli, falafel and hummus into a pita for a quick Mediterranean meal. And, of course, trail mixes aren't just for hiking.

They make a great snack wherever you are.

So come in to see us and load up for your next trip.

As always, if there is something you are looking for that we don't have, we can probably special order it for you. (Not all products are available at the Valley store.)

Happy Trails!
