our mission
Here at The Carnivore Bar, we provide a fuel source for ancestral, carnivore, paleo, and keto eaters who value their on-the-go autonomy, without sacrificing quality nutrition.
The Carnivore Bar provides our community with the freedom to travel, explore, or thrive on their busy work schedules without having to worry about readily-available, high-fat meal replacement options.
our vision
We currently serve our carnivore and ancestral health communities with a healthy meal replacement for traveling, and while we will continue to do so, our ultimate goal is to provide healthy meals for the battlefield and beyond.
I, Phillip Meece, started The Carnivore Bar from my experience as a Combat Medic in the U.S. Army after coming home fat, sick, and depleted of nutrients from preservative-laden junk food in Afghanistan. I watched my fellow soldiers suffer the same consequences of neglect and poor battlefield nutrition. The Carnivore Bar will allow the US Army, FEMA, and beyond to provide nutritious and shelf-stable food to troops and those who are in need of aid wherever they may be.
where we’re at: 2025 update
This past year has brought new challenges and growth for us. While we’ve been hit with multiple significant price increases from our suppliers, we’ve worked hard to hold our prices steady and not pass those costs onto our customers. It hasn’t been easy, but it’s part of our commitment to making this food as accessible as possible.
We’ve continued to innovate with multiple new limited-edition flavors released throughout the year, and we have even more on the way as we expand our flavor offerings to keep things fresh and exciting. To help us scale, we moved into a new facility once again - this time to lower our overhead costs while also increasing our output.
Our team has also grown, both in-person and remotely, with several new members joining us to help meet demand and uphold our high standards. Every step of the way comes with its challenges, but we remain committed to fighting the good fight to make this life-saving food. We couldn’t do any of this without the incredible support of our community, your encouragement and loyalty make it possible for us to keep pushing forward and we’re grateful every single day.
