Poe & Co, a Santa Barbara-based catering and meal delivery business, has launched Poe & Co. Folk Foods, a line of gourmet, plant-based, just-add-water camping meals, designed to elevate dining in the great outdoors. The culinary duo, known for their celebrity clientele and bringing their fine dining restaurant-trained culinary talents to tony Santa Barbara has now turned their attention to the outdoors with a range of meals that are as convenient as they are delicious.
“We care about every meal we eat, including when we go camping. We don’t want to sacrifice quality,” said Poe. “We wanted to bring the same level of creativity and modern flavors to the camping community that we bring to our catering clients while also offering a delicious and cleaner option.”
The range of meals includes a Black Garlic Ramen Bowl, Coconut Chickpea Stew, and Quinoa Sweet Potato Skillet each made with better-for-you, plant-based ingredients, and packed with flavor. The convenient, just-add-water packaging makes it easy to take the meals on any outdoor adventure, whether it’s a camping trip, hiking excursion, or beach day, and the meals can be enjoyed straight out of the pouch.
“The response so far has been great, and we’re thrilled to see that many people are also using them as a quick office lunch or as an emergency preparedness staple,” said Poe. “We’ve taken great care to create a product that is not only delicious but also versatile and convenient for a variety of settings and situations.”
