Turn on the news and it’s easy to see why families throughout Dallas-Ft. Worth and across the State are becoming more aware of the need for emergency preparedness. Emergencies can happen fast and at any time – and first responders may be unable to reach you during an emergency. From natural disasters and weather events to catastrophic accidents and civic disturbances, emergencies and disasters are part of the world we live in. Although it might be an uncomfortable subject to consider, ignoring their existence can increase the likelihood of even more challenging consequences. Hoping you might be able to figure things out in real time when disaster strikes is not the solution – but emergency preparedness is.
Americans are taking preparedness more seriously than ever before, and food storage is always at the top of the preparedness list. Augason Farms is the pioneering leader in what has become a huge survival food industry. The company sources, formulates and produces the most nutritious emergency foods on the market, with foods that not only taste great, but also provide families with the calories and proteins they need to remain at peak efficiency during tough times.
Now in its 53rd year of operation, Augason Farms invented the category of emergency preparedness meal solutions for purchase and immediate delivery. Founded in 1972 by Phil Augason, Augason Farms ranks as the nation’s foremost supplier of emergency preparedness foods with over 300 products manufactured and sold nationwide.
Augason Farms prepares all meals in their own Salt Lake City-based manufacturing facility and delivers them in easy-to-stack water-tight buckets with handles for long-term storage, allowing the company’s extensive line of healthy and satisfying meals to remain fresh for up to 25 years.
Preparing Augason Farms food meals is easy and straightforward — simply add water, cook and you’re ready to go.
“Our high-quality ingredient procurement, taste-tested formulas, and end-to-end manufacturing all happen in our state-of-the-art facility, where we can control the quality and ensure that Augason Farms families can stock up on a steady supply of ready-to-prepare, great-tasting meals, fruits and vegetables and dairy products for difficult times and everyday use,” says Augason Farms President Nathan Yearsley.
The Augason Farms ‘Pantry Pouches’ have quickly become a family favorite, offering smaller versions of top-selling items like Freeze-Dried Strawberries, Whole Egg Powder, and Butter Powder. Each of the pouches is lighter for portability, compact and flexible for small spaces, and offers the best value on the market. The resealable design helps cut down on waste by letting you use what you need and keep the rest, which stays fresh for up to a year after opening. These pouches make it easy to incorporate high-quality shelf-stable ingredients into your everyday meals. Whether you’re cooking at home or building your food storage, the ‘Pantry Pouches’ are a smart, delicious solution.
The CDC recommends storing at least three days’ worth of food and water in your home in case of an emergency or natural disaster – but it’s smart to stock enough food to last you and your loved ones for an extended period. Augason Farms answers the call with long-term food storage options that meet the specific needs of your family, beginning with 72-hour meal kits for individuals to large food item kits for a family of six with three daily servings of healthy, nutritious meals for an entire year. And all Augason Farms food products are prepared in the company’s sprawling owned and operated manufacturing facility.
“If there is one key takeaway from hurricanes, earthquakes and other unforeseen events, it is this – you must be prepared for the inevitable, especially when it comes to stocking up on emergency food. Augason Farm has one primary objective – to prepare and deliver healthy, affordable, real food delivered to your door that is easily prepared in only a matter of minutes,” says Yearsley.
A core philosophy behind Augason Farms’ vast line of products is to deliver to families hundreds of food products that are not only shelf-stable go-to meals for challenging times but are also delicious and nutritious options for everyday use. From eggs and dairy and fruits and vegetables to meats and proteins and soups and entries (along with amazing desserts), Augason Farms products can be just as easily found in the pantry for daily meals as stored away in homes for emergency use.
“Augason Farms commitment to quality and taste has motivated us to design and operate the most cutting-edge production facility in the emergency food business. Our specially engineered product bags are made to keep our products safe, tasty and nutritious to eat for up to 25 years. This commitment has earned us certifications from the FDA, QSA and GMP. When you choose Augason Farms, you know you’re buying from the best,” says Yearsley.
