Gopicnic Review (and a giveaway)

Our Story (from the website)


GoPicnic's founders developed the concept of the shelf-stable picnic meal in 2004 for a major US airline whose existing buy-on-board fresh food service program was costing it millions of dollars annually due to high levels of waste from unused meals as well as incremental personnel expenses stemming from the need for in-flight food preparation.

The shelf-stable snackbox solution that the GoPicnic founders created to address these issues generated profit for the airline for the first time in its food service history and provided customers with a reliable quality product at a good value. Recognizing the many benefits such shelf-stable "picnic" meal programs could bring to a wide array of other industries, the GoPicnic founders expanded on the original concept, making nutritious high-quality shelf-stable meal solutions available to new markets and clients.
Care Packages


Let your loved one know that you're thinking of them with a gift of tasty food!  Send your college student healthy study snacks to fuel great thoughts!  Or what better gift for someone who has just had a baby, moved to a new house, or is planning a wedding or other life event -- great-tasting, nutritious food to keep them going when kitchens or time to prepare food just isn't available!

 I was lucky enough to be able to review the Comfort Food Care Package,

GoPicnic’s Comfort Food Care Package…chocolatey, salty, crunchy, sweet goodness in a convenient pack. It is the perfect way to say ‘thinking of you’ with seven satisfying foods. Great for birthdays, back-to-school, sympathy gifting, get-well soon or just because.

My Review: 

Have someone in your life that might be going through a rough patch? A child going off to camp or college and you want to let them take a piece of home with them? Go Picnic (www.gopicnic.com) has the care package for you. These are packaged slices of home. We received the Comfort Food package which contained: Go Picnic Ready to Eat Meal, Pretzel Crisps Classic flavor, Surf Sweets Gummy Bears, Geraldine’s Italian Wedding cookies, Gourmet Center Biscoff cookies, Annie’s Homegrown Cheddar Bunny snack crackers & Peanut Butter & Companies Dark Chocolate Dream peanut butter.

It’s a box full of yummy snacks that will make even the most homesick person feel like they’re back home. One of my favorite parts of the care package besides the Peanut Butter & Company peanut butter (I drug my husband through Manhattan on a rainy Saturday many years ago looking for their little shop, we found it and it was well worth the trek,) was the Go Picnic ready to eat meal. What a great idea, it’s a meal in a box! We received the Turkey Stick + Crunch which consisted of: turkey snack stick, barbecue potato chips, dried apricots, fruit & nut mix and an organic dark chocolate square. 

This is the exact thing I want to take with me on our trip to California, it’s a long flight and we will get hungry no doubt and one pack of peanuts over the course of several hours just won’t cut it! Go Picnic has a care package for every occasion, and they’re priced between $19.99 & $24.99, they make the perfect thinking of you or good luck or get well soon care package. Who wouldn’t want a box of delicious comfort food?!
