Essential Food Preparedness for Your Family's Safety
Essential Food Preparedness for Your Family's Safety
Be Ready for Anything with Augason Farms
Earthquakes, wildfires, and power outages remind us that life can change fast. When emergencies happen, food is one of the first things families worry about. At Augason Farms, we help families stay ready with high-quality, long-lasting food that fits real life.
Our president, Nathan Yearsley, recently shared why preparedness matters and how easy it is to start building your food supply.
Why Preparedness Matters
Most grocery stores only have enough food for about a day and a half. Warehouses are about the same. When the supply chain stops, shelves empty fast.
If a disaster strikes, federal relief can take weeks to arrive. That gap, between when food runs out and when help shows up, is when preparation matters most.
As Nathan explained, “It’s not just about disasters. It’s also about everyday emergencies like job loss, illness, or injury. Food insecurity is real, and being ready can make a huge difference.”
Food for Every Situation
We offer food for any level of preparedness.
72-hour emergency kits: three days of meals for one person, small enough to fit under a car seat.
1-week kits: a week of meals, neatly packaged and ready to go.
30-day pails: a full month of breakfast, lunch, and dinner for one person, packed in a watertight container.
You can also build your own supply with individual ingredients like:
Freeze-dried fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, and pineapple
Powdered eggs and milk
Proteins, casseroles, and soup mixes
Pancake and biscuit mixes
All of our foods are freeze-dried or dehydrated for freshness, taste, and nutrition. Many items last up to 30 years unopened. Once opened, most stay good for a year.
Easy to Prepare and Use
Every product is simple to make. Just add water. Some need heat, others can be eaten as-is.
Meals like chicken and rice casserole cook in minutes. Freeze-dried fruits can be eaten dry for a crunchy snack or rehydrated for smoothies, baking, or cereal.
Powdered eggs and milk are also popular with home bakers and food vendors because they are consistent, shelf-stable, and affordable.
Nathan shared an important point: 40% of food in American kitchens goes to waste. Our food helps eliminate that problem by letting you prepare only what you need.
Shop Like You Normally Would
Building a food supply should feel familiar. Think of our website like a grocery store. You can select what your family enjoys eating, see serving sizes and calories, and customize your order based on your needs and budget.
If you need guidance, our customer service team can help you figure out how many meals or months of food are right for your family.

Preparedness Starts with One Step
Whether you are planning for natural disasters or the everyday challenges of life, having reliable food on hand is the foundation of security.
As Nathan said, “Spend ten or twenty dollars and start small. If you’re ready for everyday emergencies, you’ll do pretty well.”
