Beyond the Trailhead Podcast Ep. 19 | Farm to Summit Creator/Owner Louise Barton

Guest: Louise Barton — Founder of Farm to Summit Join us for an inspiring conversation with Louise “Lou” Barton, founder of Farm to Summit, a Durango-based company making dehydrated backpacking meals sourced from local farms and up-cycled produce. Lou shares how a 23-day Yellowstone backcountry research trip — and watching her coworkers struggle on low-quality trail food — sparked the idea for Farm to Summit. What started with a home dehydrator and farmers markets has grown into a mission-driven brand focused on sustainability, flavor, and fueling real adventures. In this episode we dive into: 🥕 Sourcing thousands of pounds of produce from local farms 🌱 Using up-cycled vegetables to reduce food waste 📈 Growing slowly and sustainably instead of scaling too fast 👩‍👧 Balancing entrepreneurship, motherhood, and the outdoors 🥘 Why taste tests and quality control matter more than hype 🏔️ How the outdoor community shapes their meals and mission From feeding thru-hikers and climbers to families and even diplomats abroad, Farm to Summit meals are showing up in some unexpected places — and the stories behind them are powerful. If you love backpacking, food, or founder stories, this episode is packed with insight and heart. 🔗 Connect with Farm to Summit 🌐 Website: https://www.farmtosummit.com Buy on REI https://app.rockporch.com/mlink/qIi4b... 📸 Instagram:   / farmtosummit   📘 Facebook:   / farmtosummit   📍 Store Locator: https://www.farmtosummit.com 🎧 Listen to Beyond the Trailhead ▶️ YouTube:    / @beyondthetrailhead   🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11g9jx9... 📸 Instagram:  / beyondthetrailheadpodcast   🌐 Website: https://obristimagery.com For those asking about safety gear we use outdoors — you can get 15% off Overwatch x Rescue with code BEYOND15. ✅ Don’t forget to: • Like 👍 and Subscribe 🔔 • Comment — what’s your go-to water carry system? • Share this with your hiking crew Let’s go Beyond the Trailhead.
