Clint and Dawson this week sit down with Heather Kelly of Heather's Choice.

Heather was born and raised in Alaska, where she still calls home today. A two-time NCAA National Champion in women’s rowing and voted CRCA/Pocock All-American her senior year, she still considers herself an athlete and loves everything from CrossFit to weight training to long walks in the woods. 

While studying at Western Washington University she earned a degree in Evolutionary Nutrition and went on to study at the Institute for the Psychology of Eating to become a certified eating psychology coach. Heather believes we all have a relationship with food, and that it’s important to cultivate a healthy, satisfying relationship with our diet for long-term health. 

She is the founder and CEO of Heather’s Choice® which produces healthy, lightweight, packable meals and snacks for adventurers worldwide. Every product is handmade in their dedicated gluten-free kitchen in Anchorage, Alaska. The Heather’s Choice mission is to put good food in everyone’s pack, no matter where their adventures may take them. 

One fun fact about Heather is she has rafted the Grand Canyon six times since 2011 and won't say no to a river trip.

Tune in to the full episode below, it's a good one!

"Heather’s Choice is one of at least half a dozen up-and-coming women-led outdoor recreation businesses in Anchorage. In recent years, women have been making inroads in the traditionally male-dominated industry, and there seems to be a higher concentration of the female leaders here in Alaska."

Nine years ago, I sat in a coffee shop, ripping off the free internet while drinking an unspeakable amount of espresso, teaching myself how to launch a Shopify website.

As the clock struck midnight, I placed my first order, testing to see that everything worked.

Cha-ching…a Shopify notification popped up on my phone. Order number #00001.

What was once a dream suddenly become very very real.

My little idea to create good food for people’s backcountry trips has grown into so much more than I ever imagined in the summer of 2014. I had no idea how many people we would eventually hire, that I would grow into the role of CEO, that I would end up raising money hundred of thousands of dollars at time, or that I would end up owning so much flippin’ equipment 

It was all a dream that’s become reality, despite a countless number of setbacks, mistakes, and steep learning curves.

As Heather’s Choice turns nine years old today, I can’t help but feel completely floored by all that’s transpired.

If you’ve been a part of our journey at all…”Thank you!”

This adventure has humbled me in more ways than I count, and I never get tired of seeing people eating Packaroons or enjoying our meals out in the wild.
To celebrate our nine years in business, we’re offering some rad free gifts with purchase this week for orders over $99.

Not only do you get free shipping, you also get a surprise gift from us; a coveted Heather’s Choice YETI mug, a Heather’s Choice Arctic Fox hat, a long handled spoon, a ten pack of Packaroons…who knows what we might surprise you with 

Here’s to many more adventures on the horizon, and continuing to feed people really good food.

Love,

Heather

"Heather’s Choice features unique and insanely good camp meals with flavor combinations you’d expect to see at a fancy restaurant rather than in the backcountry. I love how all their meals are gluten-free, and most cater to additional dietary restrictions as well!"

This was such a fun + hilarious interview with Alaska Business Magazine. Thanks for capturing Jango and I in our natural environment.

"Another brand getting positive attention for its natural cooking methods is Heather’s Choice. Based in Alaska, this small company is all about quality ingredients, excellent taste, and a high calorie-to-weight ratio. With a solid 39 grams of protein per pack, the Smoked Sockeye Salmon Chowder includes wild-caught Alaskan salmon, hearty vegetables, and a coconut milk powder—backcountry cuisine doesn’t get much better."

Welcome to the Wherever You May Roam Interview Series hosted by Heather’s Choice!

With this series, we aim to highlight the bold adventurers who are stepping off the beaten path to lead a life that is a bit on the edge. These individuals include world class athletes and small town heroes that are embarking on wilderness experiences that leave us feeling inspired and motivated to chart our own path.

In this first episode of Wherever You May Roam, Heather Kelly, founder and CEO of Heather’s Choice, interviews Lauren Shea of Salty Science about the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, a 3,000 mile unsupported row across the Atlantic Ocean. With little to no rowing experience, four marine scientists will work two hours on, two hours off for forty to sixty days at sea, all in an effort to raise awareness for ocean preservation.

Tune in to meet one of the four rowers embarking on this epic adventure.

Head on over to the Heather’s Choice Journal to learn more about Salty Science and support the cause.
