Heritage and History
Mountain House is a product line of Oregon Freeze Dry, which was founded in Albany, Oregon in 1963 and became the world's leading contract freeze-dryer of food. Oregon Freeze Dry initially served the space program and military before developing the Mountain House consumer line in 1968 for backpackers who needed lightweight, nutritious food that required no refrigeration.
Freeze-drying is a technical process that removes moisture from food while preserving cellular structure, flavor, and nutritional content. The result is food that rehydrates almost perfectly, tasting nearly identical to the original cooked meal — a remarkable achievement that has made Mountain House the dominant brand in freeze-dried food for over five decades.
Made in Albany, Oregon
Every Mountain House meal is freeze-dried at Oregon Freeze Dry's Albany, Oregon facility, where the process involves cooking the food, rapidly freezing it, and then removing moisture in a vacuum chamber at low temperatures. The entire freeze-drying process is conducted on-site, from food preparation through packaging.
The 30-year shelf life that Mountain House claims is not marketing — it is the result of the freeze-drying process combined with oxygen-free packaging. Independent testing has confirmed that Mountain House meals remain safe and palatable well beyond the guaranteed period. For emergency preparedness, mountain climbing expeditions, or anyone who wants the security of long-shelf-life food, Mountain House provides genuine reliability backed by decades of American manufacturing.
