Our favorite snacks for your next summer adventure. Photo by Evie Cheung.

It's the final stretch of summer, which means we're squeezing in as many beach days, poolside hangs, and backyard picnics as our schedule allows. Each occasion calls for ... snacks, of course ... and not the kind found at your local convenience store. We're partial to the small-batch, handmade, delicious, and beautifully packaged variety sold by Mouth, the DUMBO-based online purveyor of US-made artisan foods.

We partnered with Mouth to bring you a selection of our favorite travel-friendly eats — organic gummy worms, beef jerky that will turn any naysayer into a convert, and quarter-sized oatmeal cookies sure to liven up the longest of international flights. Each snack was personally tasted and approved by our Fathom team. We hope you enjoy!
