#41 Go Where You've Never Gone Before, and Eat Well - Ashley Lance, Fernweh Food Company

Published: May 13, 2020, 7:40 p.m.

b'Fernweh (fern\' way) is a German word that means a very, very strong desire to explore and experience places you haven\'t been to. With a background in hospitality, Ashley Lance was really groomed to help people who liked to backpack responsibly and have good meals along the way. Originally a side hustle, Ashley began making her own trail meals of dehydrated foods that were locally sourced and responsibly packaged. She was most distressed at the garbage she would encounter at trailheads and decided she could do better. In addition to the reduced packaging, Ashley also wanted to take advantage of the all the fresh, good local food available and so acquires fresh fruit and vegetables and dehydrates them at the peak of their flavor. Her company also gets the "seconds" - the ugly, but still tasteful and healthy foods - and prepares them for packaging.\\n\\n"Masoni and Marshall the meaningful Marketplace" with your hosts Sarah Masoni and Sarah Marshall\\n\\nWe record the "the Meaningful Marketplace" inside NedSpace in the Bigfoot Podcast Studio in beautiful downtown Portland.\\n\\nAudio engineer, mixer and podcast editor is Allon Beausoleil\\n\\nShow logo was designed by Anton Kimball of Kimball Design\\n\\nWebsite was designed by Cameron Grimes\\n\\nProduction assistant is Chelsea Lancaster\\n\\n10% of gross revenue at Startup Radio Network goes to support women entrepreneurs in developing countries thru kiva.org/lender/markgrimes\\n\\nListen to the "Masoni and Marshall the meaningful marketplace" live on-air every Friday at 9:00am pacific time on Startup Radio Network at startupradionetwork.com'
