I was wondering if we ever found what dropped the Dharma Initiative food on the beach that the 815 peeps were living on? I can't remember if that happened in Season 1 or 2.

In Season 2, during a lockdown incident at the Swan, a large pallet of DHARMA food and supplies was found quite close to the entrance of the station by Kate and Jack. None of the survivors recalled hearing a plane fly over the Island, although the pallet and its cargo were attached to a parachute and had a flashing beacon attached. Charlie speculated that the station may have been deliberately locked down to keep the occupants from seeing who made the drop.

The supply drop contained a large amount of DHARMA Initiative food including boxes of Macaroni & Cheese Supper, peanut butter, risotto, ranch dressing, canned goods, and other assorted food items. All of the items in the drop bore the code DI 9FFTR731 and were branded with the Swan logo The supply drop was scavenged by a large group of castaways including Sawyer, Charlie, Jin, Sun and Kate. Sawyer later commented that he had "enough stuff now to open a chain of mini-marts". Charlie also found a vaccine kit on the pallet when he gave it to Claire a few days later.

Much of the food was transferred to the beach camp and kept in an outdoor kitchen organized by Rose. Paulo once complained that the kitchen was out of DHARMA Oat Bars. Charlie gave the pallet itself to Eko to assist in the construction of his church.

Several years later, Benjamin Linus visited the DHARMA Logistics Warehouse in Guam where the drops were being launched from. He informed the two men working there that the Initiative disbanded twenty years previously, answered a few of their questions about why they were sending the pallets, and relieved them of their duties.

PkmnTrainerJ has got it spot on!

If you want a full explanation, get the season six DVD and watch 'The New Man In Charge', a 12 minute extra mini-episode. It's all explained in that.
