A 54-Year History of Helping Families Prepare

Phil and Jackie Augason founded the company on one idea. People need help preparing for life's unforeseen events.

Those events take many forms:

• Illness
• Injury
• Job loss
• Severe weather and blizzards

Tough times arrive without warning. The Augasons started small, helping families with staples like milk and wheat. Customers cooked everything from scratch.

The line now includes over 100 products. Each one fits a specific need.

Food Sourced From the Best Producers

Quality starts with the source. Augason Farms buys ingredients from the best producers for each item. The best oats come from the Midwest. The best strawberries and blueberries come from wherever they grow best.

The company brings those ingredients together in dehydrated and freeze-dried form. Each product gets prepared and packaged for a 25 to 30 year shelf life.

Start With a Kit, Then Add What You Like

The simplest entry point is a kit. A 72-hour kit feeds one person for three days with breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The design fits real life. Slide it under a car seat or store it in your trunk. If you need to leave fast, you grab it and go. The food needs only water and heat to cook.

Augason Farms pre-curates these kits to support everyone:

• Fruits and vegetables
• Proteins
• Vegan options
• Gluten-free options

Nathan recommends a simple approach. Start with a kit. Then add the items you want. Maybe blueberries for your oatmeal. Maybe a few extra entrees. The website lets you build the supply your household needs.

How to Know How Much Food You Need

Planning food storage works like grocery shopping. Nathan plans by servings. A regular meal runs three or four servings depending on hunger.

Every product lists the details clearly:

• Number of servings
• Calories
• Protein and nutrition facts

You read the label and plan the same way you plan a trip to the store. One package covers two meals. Another package covers a week.

Where to Find the Right Food for Your Family

The easiest place to plan is AugasonFarms.com. The site organizes food by product type with simple pull-down menus. You see what you get and how much.

Every product uses the highest quality ingredients and lasts up to 30 years. And the food tastes good enough to eat every day. Many customers do.

Preparedness starts with one step. Pick a kit and make sure your family eats, no matter what comes next.
