Fresh Food

Fresh Food Boxes

Balanced, travel-ready meals for crews in the field—fresh, safe, and satisfying when a traditional kitchen is hours away.

Built for the field since 2001

North Slope Catering has been providing fresh food boxes to wildland firefighters in Alaska since 2001. Our boxes are designed to travel—staying fresh, safe, and satisfying for crews who may be hours away from a traditional kitchen.

  • Balanced meals with proteins, carbohydrates, and fresh produce
  • Packaged for transport to remote trailheads, spike camps, and staging areas
  • Breakfast, lunch, and dinner configurations available

Located along a road or in a remote area? Our mobile kitchens and distribution teams can get to you. From school parking lots to abandoned logging mills, we've seen it all. Our staff of skilled chefs and courteous assistants will make you feel at home no matter where you are.

Built for long shifts

Each box is designed to fuel crews through long, physically demanding shifts with a balance of energy-dense foods, fresh items, and hydration.

Food safety first

From packing to delivery, our processes and packaging are built around temperature control and food safety best practices in remote conditions.

Configurable menus

We can match agency specifications and dietary guidance, with options for vegetarian, gluten-conscious, and other requirements where needed.

Typical box components

  • High-quality protein item (such as sandwich, wrap, or entrée)
  • Fresh fruit and/or vegetables
  • Snack items to sustain energy between meals
  • Hydration support (bottled water or drink mix where appropriate)
