Based in Salmon, Idaho, we live and play in Idaho's great outdoors.
Matt and Breann have both been guiding and trip planning on Idaho's wilderness rivers since 2001. Salmon River Food Packs was formed in 2012.
Salmon River Food Packs had an amazing first season! We did private food packs for groups large and small, from 4 to 22 people. Our crew worked very hard to pack each trip. SRFP packed trips June through late September on the Main Salmon, Middle Fork Salmon, and Selway River. We ironed out any kinks in our system and are really excited for the 2013 season to begin. Thank you to everyone who used our services in 2012!
Salmon River Food Packs' second season was great. We made a few changes to our first season's menus, which really worked out well. We're becoming a well-oiled machine! Homemade cookies and delicious local produce, bread, and coffee were on every trip. SRFP packed trips June through late September on the Main Salmon, Middle Fork Salmon, and Selway River. Thank you to everyone who used our services in 2013!
Salmon River Food Packs' third season was great, our best yet. In 2014, SRFP packed trips June through late September on the Main Salmon, Middle Fork Salmon, and Selway River. Thank you to everyone who used our services in 2014!
Our First Season, 2012
Our crew is excited to help you plan your river trip this year! With over 40 years of combined experience working on Idaho's rivers and food packing, Matt and Breann have a solid background in river menu planning and packing for both small and large groups.
In the past 14 seasons, we have served thousands of river runners on hundreds of trips down the Main Salmon, Middle Fork Salmon, Hells Canyon, Selway, and Lower Main Salmon Rivers. We are obsessed with the details involved with packing a trip and enjoy helping folks get out on the water.
2017
The summer of 2016 put another great year of food packing on the books. Our favorite addition to the menus this summer was the rhubarb crisp, with locally sourced rhubarb! Thank you to all of our customers and wonderful employees who keep the place running.
2017 was a great summer for Salmon River Food Packs. Food packs were delivered to the Main Salmon, Middle Fork Salmon, Lower Salmon, Hells Canyon, and Selway! Thank you to everyone who used our services in 2017.
2018 was our seventh season with Salmon River Food Packs. It was an amazing summer, packed with river trips, food packs, and sunshine. We had two great helpers in charge of cooler cleaning this summer! Thank you to everyone who used SRFP in 2018.
We had a great season in summer 2015. Trips started in April and ran through late September. We used a ton of fresh vegetables from Swift River Farms, right here in Salmon, Idaho. Their lettuce was amazing! Thank you for a great fourth season!
What an amazing year 2019 was! We saw the arrival of our little Vivianne Iris, packed SO MUCH food, and enjoyed a few river trips ourselves. This was our eighth season, and we're looking forward to the ninth in the new decade. Thank you to our crew and to everyone who used our services in 2020!
We made it through! Surprisingly, our busiest year yet, with so many folks wanting to get out and float the rivers. Goodbye 2020; hello 2021!
2020
This was our 10th year in business and we're still going strong! Next year we'll be in a new shop space, and are looking forward to see familiar faces and making new friends in 2022.
This was our 11th year in business, and we had a great season, despite skyrocketing food costs. We built a new shop and are so thankful for the great new work space! 2023 is looking great, and we're ready for another very busy summer season.
This was our 13th year in business! Our "new" shop is 3 years old now and doing great. We packed food for the Middle Fork, Main Salmon, Lower Salmon, Selway, and many fire camps this year. Thank you, thank you for your business!
2024
Twelve years organizing and packing trips! We're so thankful for all of our return customers and the operators we work with during the season. The rivers were beautiful and the food was plentiful this year. Thank you all!
2025
This was our 14th year in business! One of our favorite food products we offer is wild caught Bristol Bay Salmon, and one of our favorite long-time appetizers is stuffed mushrooms. We'd love to work with you and your group to make your trip's food simple, delicious, and unforgettable!
