I am very interested in that order, or more precisely, the date of that order.
Do you think you could take a SWAG at when it was placed or filled?
TPTB probably don't want that kind of thing known. Remember all the information that was taken down in 2020, for various reasons?
The video containing the information is still up on YT, it was the owner of wholesale freeze dried interviews that were removed from the channel; seems logical this was done for personal reasons.
Here is the vid I noticed yesterday, yeah I know; fear channel...but he's a vendor for wholesale freeze dried...so:

5 minute mark is where this is discussed at length.
Thanks. I listened for a while and read a couple comments.
The video is only one day old, but he never said when they placed the order.

Thanks for sharing the video. As an advocatus diaboli I wonder why they didn't discuss the size of the order. There is nothing in the video to discern if an employee had a shipment sent there to avoid a trip to the post office or if a bunch of semi trucks dropped off a huge order to an underground lair. I just don't see an office building ordering anything more than a short-term "shelter in place" quantity of freeze dried foods. We have an election season coming up which means the [deleted to avoid a mod cut] will be rolling out their usual procession of riots and looting like they have the last two seasons. It makes sense the federal reserve would take precautions considering that the economy is going to crap and they are likely to be seen as a target, much like the "occupy wall street" from a few election seasons back.

He said it was a large order, and was comparing it to orders for military bases.
That, indirectly, indicates truckloads.
Also said it was freeze dried, so that means whoever ordered it doesn't know if something is going to happen, but is doing this "just in case."

I get regular emails from the freeze dried guy (I'm on the same list anybody can join) and in my recollection most of their military orders are for submarines. I don't have any Navy experience but a quick internet search says that's about 125 people per sub. I don't know how many people work at a federal reserve bank office but 125 sounds reasonable. That indirectly, doesn't indicate truckloads for a short term shelter in place situation. At least, not that many truckloads (where would they store it?).
As far as it being freeze dried, the OP did say that it was all high end stuff like cheesecakes, asparagus, etc. Not the type of things you see in an MRE. And from personal experience, the only better quality than freeze dried food is fresh food. Canned, MREs etc, are far below.

During 'refit' submarine crews have one week to load up all the food they project they will need for the next deployment of three to six months. To accomplish this feat it must all be in a single warehouse, palletized and in order. So when it is stacked onboard, the first pallet has all the food items required for the first day underwater, and months later the last pallet has everything that aligns with the menu for that last day underwater.
No fresh food, no milk, no salads, no fresh fruits. Freeze dried food works very well in this scenario.
When I served on subs, each refit site would send out one sub every week.
The passage through the Strait of Juan de Fuca takes 18 hours from open ocean to reach pier side. An open space at the pier might only be open for a few hours, from one sub leaving until the next sub ties up. It works out to be a fairly high-paced turnaround. And we consume a lot of food.
When I did it, I was focused on repairing electronic equipment and calibrating test equipment. But I always knew that the supply guys were hopping to keep up.

If you figure a month supply (virus lockdown, or nuclear fallout), let us just say one pallet per person, that would be around 3 or 4 truckloads. I don't think it would be hard to fit into that building. It is a pretty big building.

Yeah I imagine the cello players doing their thing while they dine on freeze dried filet mignons, potatoes, asparagus, and fancy desserts. I'm sure every other pallet has wine on it.
I'm a "Mountain House" guy because I've tried several other brands and MH has best taste/quality/value.
Am I wrong? If anybody else has other experiences would love to hear them.
I have not tried Mountain House, I use Thrive Life and really like the separate vegetables, meats and fruits. I don't think they have a good handle on the meals though, and those are very expensive. I use their instant milk most often, but the dried fruit are a hit with my grandkids and me.
