Suzy Bratton of Yum Pouch began creating vegan meals-on-the-go when her husband Jason “Stickboy” was competing in the Iditarod Trail Invitational. Each racer needed to ship 10 drop boxes filled with food and supplies to fuel their 1,000-mile bike ride across the Alaskan tundra. When a vegan friend and fellow racer discovered the astronomical shipping costs from his home in South Africa, Suzy offered to make, pack, and ship his meals to fuel this arduous journey. As a passionate cook and former vegetarian herself, Suzy knew the importance, and sometimes challenge, of having a high-quality protein diet. As an accomplished classical musician, Suzy lives by codes of quality and excellence, never compromising quality or using harmful packaging. Yum Pouch uses compostable packaging that doesn't depend on water, heat, sunlight, or oxygen to degrade-- just microbes found in soil.
