Testimonials

“Where to start? Maybe by saying this year I’m not on the trail, but I had the pleasure of trying out the new gourmet freeze-dried offerings that are back country Expedition inspired, and holy wow! The gumbo, meat sauce, and chili meals were all spectacular and much better than I personally could cook myself. And it’s pure food, no crazy preservatives or additives (when’s the last time you could read a content label and recognize every single food item packed in the container?). Low in sodium, off the charts in layers of flavour and ready to eat in minutes. It’s easy to taste the care, love and dedication of the team at the small batch Diamond Hitch Food Co. Giddyup and purchase some meals for yr next dinner party. Game changer:-)” – Katherin Edwards (Writer and former M-K Adventures Expedition Guest)

“The meals by Diamond Hitch are rich in wonderful ingredients and harmonious flavor combinations. Absolutely delicious! It was incredibly satisfying after the rigors of a day in the back country to sit down to this kind of cuisine, let alone 12 days in a row! I felt spoiled rotten!!” – Jan Fowler (2025 M-K Adventures Expedition Guest)                  

“Easy to cook and delicious to eat! After five weeks in the wilderness, I usually come out craving certain kinds of food, but Diamond Hitch’s meals were so good it was as if I were at home. And the ease of preparing the meals took a lot of pressure off the cook. Highly recommend!” – Camille Gachot (2025 Cook and Wrangler for MK Adventures)

“Lance and I just ate the most amazing lasagna ever using Diamond Hitch’s Tomato and Red Pepper Meat Sauce!! Took no time, no dishes and tasted fantastic. My lasagna has never been so good!” – Lorrie Girard (2026 Customer)

“As an avid adventurer into the wild backcountry, the most important rejuvenator after a hard day is a delicious hearty meal. Freeze drying has made huge leaps in the past 25 years, preserving nutrients, texture and flavour and providing  long shelf life. Diamond Hitch has mastered these. What takes this wonderful food up a notch is Natalie’s artistry in combining the ingredients  and adding the spices that take one around the world.” – Harriet Hall (2025 M-K Adventures Wilderness Camp Guest)

“Last summer I rode with Muskwa-Kechika Adventures for three weeks on horseback and had Diamond Hitch meals prepared for me twice a day. The recipes were unique; the meat, gluten free grains and vegetables were plentiful; and the sauces were rich and well seasoned. Diamond Hitch’s recipes are filling, nutritious and also comforting on the (often cold and wet) trail! I’ve tried numerous dehydrated and freeze dried meals and these are by the far the most carefully prepared and considered out there. It’s hard to tell they aren’t fresh. I look forward to ordering them for my personal trips”

“You gave me a great experience! I so appreciate all the attention to detail and extra creativity menu planning catering to my dietary needs. You two were completely successful. I had the energy and comfort to enjoy the experience of a lifetime to the fullest. Everyone adored the delicious flavours, textures and nutrition.” – Natasha Oswald (2025 M-K Adventures Expedition Guest)

“These were the best meals I’ve ever eaten on the trail and truly would be a pleasure to eat at home.”  – Michael Reynolds (2025 M-K Adventures Expedition Guest)

“I have been travelling with horses in the wilderness for more than 30 years. Enjoying a good dinner cooked on a campfire after a long day in the saddle is one of the best moments of the day, even if the food is very basic, as it often has been in the past. But meals by Diamond Hitch add a new dimension to campfire cooking. The meals are not just lightweight but taste delicious! This will be hard to top!” – Guenter Wamser (2025 M-K Adventures Guide)
