Meet Your (meal) Maker
Hi! I am Lexie and I am the hands behind all the meals.
My story is fairly simple; I love adventure, I love the beauty of our earth, and I love good food. Feeding people meals they enjoy has always been a passion of mine.
In the summer of 2025 I went on a backpacking trip and decided I wanted to make my own meals. I didn’t know if it was because I had hiked 10 miles in the pouring rain and the clouds had finally parted letting the sun dry our wet feet, or maybe because I made the food myself, but it was the best meal I’ve ever had in the back country.
Really, I just want to give our customers that same experience. A clouds-parting, sunlight-shining-through, yummy-fulfilling-warm-meal when they are outside doing what they love.
Since then, I’ve worked to create trail fuel for my fellow Colorado adventurers. The best part is, all of the meals meet your protein, carb, and calorie needs while remaining vegetarian or vegan- yay no crunchy meat!
The biggest part of Backpack Up Plan for me is that I want to know my customers and have them know me. We live in a very disjointed food system, often having no idea where our food comes from, let alone who makes it. By staying small-batch and continuously looking for local growers to partner with, we work to be a small improvement in our disconnected world. And if you’re buying at the Farmer’s Market, the meals will be directly from my pack to yours. Happy adventuring and see you on the trail.
With love,
Lexie
