About RightOnTrek

Our Story

In the summer of 2017, a group of Silicon-valley entrepreneurs had a life-changing experience completing the 211-mile John Muir trail together. The following year, they founded RightOnTrek to realize their shared dream of helping to open experiences on immersive multi-day wilderness trips like backpacking to millions more people who lacked access due to barriers of planning tools, time, and knowledge.

In the Spring of 2020 we launched the line of RightOnTrek meals with three objectives:

Address the market gap for high-quality, delicious, food with optimal nutrition for backcountry trips

Design a product that would have minimal negative environmental impact and therefore align with the core values of people who love backcountry adventures

Help people spend less time and money organizing quality nutrition and leave more time for the adventure

RightOnTrek Food Services, Inc was officially incorporated as a subsidiary of RightOnTrek in 2023. We are now 100% focused on creating and delivering high-quality products that help people enjoy the cooking and dining experience on all sorts of camping adventures.

Our Mission

Our brand's mission is to help make outdoor adventures more accessible to people by offering hearty and wholesome meals to suit a range of tastes and diets while also using packaging materials that do minimal environmental harm. We believe that the quality and convenience of the RightOnTrek meals experience can help to foster a sense of togetherness, while also deepening personal connections with nature.

Values

RightOnTrek meals was founded on the premise that creating, sharing and eating good food with friends and family on backcountry adventures is a key ingredient to the bonding experience and making memories for a lifetime.

We strive to create meals that are easy to cook and taste amazing by using high-quality ingredients that are combined to deliver optimal nutrition.

We stand by sourcing sustainable materials for packaging that do not diminish the quality of the very same outdoor experiences we want to help people enjoy. Our meals are designed for sharing a good dining experience with friends and family.

Eric co-founded RightOnTrek Meals in 2019 with a professional background in energy efficiency engineering for buildings. He brings an analytical mindset to product design and business operations.

Director of Sales

Steve Smith

A Maine native, Steve moved to Bozeman, MT in 2008. Growing up in central Maine provided him with an abundance of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors--from canoeing the many lakes and streams in the state, to backpacking, and camping in Baxter State Park. When he's not skiing or mountain biking with his wife and two boys, Steve loves to fly fish, explore the Bob Marshall Wilderness, and spend time at hunting camp with his friends. Steve has twenty years of experience in sales and joined the RightOnTrek team in 2021.
