At Alaska Food Co., we believe innovation isn’t just about progress—it’s about preserving what matters and making sure it lasts for generations.
When it comes to food in Alaska, we face challenges that areunique, seasonal, and often unpredictable. But one solutionis changing the game: freeze-drying at scale.
And it’s not just exciting—it’s reshaping the future of foodfor Alaska families today andtomorrow.
What Is Freeze-Drying?
Freeze-drying is a powerful preservation method that gently removes moisture from food while locking in nutrients, flavor, and color. The result? Lightweight, shelf-stable food that doesn’t need refrigeration—ideal for rural communities, schools, first responders, and families who value clean, long-lasting options.
It’s food made to last—withoutlosing what makes it good.
Why Scale Matters for Alaska
In a state this vast and remote, access and longevity mattermore than ever.
Scaling freeze-drying means wecan:
Reduce waste from bumper crops
Offer larger contracts to Alaska farmers
Reach more communities—including those off the road system
Store food safely for years, not months
We’re not just solving supply problems. We’re laying the foundation for a food system thatworks—now and for the next generation.
From Harvest to Home—All Year Long
Freeze-drying turns a seasonalharvest into a year-round staple.
That means:
Purple potatoes from summer show up in stews all winter
Crisp fall apples become springtime snacks
Carrots, strawberries, bananas, and more stay snack-ready, with no additives or preservatives
What we grow today can nourishtomorrow—literally.
Generational Food Security Starts Here
This isn’t just about innovation—it’s about creating food security that lasts beyond one season or one family.
Farmers gain stable income andgenerational growth potential
Families get reliable, Alaska-grown nutrition year-round
Communities gain independence from fragile supply chains
We’re building something bigger than convenience—we’re building a legacy.
The Future Is Freeze-Dried—and It’s Alaskan
At Alaska Food Co., we’re scaling not just for profit—but for purpose. Because the next generation of Alaskans shouldn’thave to rely on food flown inor barged up.
They deserve something better—grown here, made here, and built to last.
This is what freeze-drying cando. And we’re only just getting started.
