To get the most out of a freeze dryer, users often turn to specialized accessories that can enhance the equipment's performance and versatility.

Freeze dried food is often confused with dehydrated food. But the two are actually very different, both in how they are produced, and the quality and shelf life of the finished product. Freeze dried food typically lasts much longer and retains more of the food’s nutrient profile and taste.

Space Requirements: This machine demands space. Imagine fitting into your kitchen another small refrigerator! Best to find it a dedicated spot in a laundry or garage if possible.

Water and air are the enemies of food storage. You have seen this truth in action if you have ever watched the fruit in a fruit bowl shrivel and blacken over time. Both freeze drying and dehydration seek to remove water from food in order to ensure its long term viability.

The main drawback is the capacity here. The smallest capacity available paired with a respectable 7 CFM pump makes it one of the least efficient models.

We were looking for a reliable way to extend the shelf life of our garden produce and eggs, without compromising quality. A freeze drying machine not only preserves flavor and nutrients but also greatly extends shelf life – by up to 25 years!

Speaking with the owners of smaller companies to resolve issues can be nice, but it’s not a viable long-term strategy if you plan on running your equipment for decades.

Luckily Harvest Know More Right support quickly shipped us a new USB board and touch screen which got us back up and running.

Investing in a Harvest Right freeze dryer isn’t just about the upfront cost. Currently a medium model with the premier oil pump will set you back about $3,200.

Growing and eating our own organic fruits and vegetables always feels so rewarding, and with the Harvest Right freeze dryer we can enjoy our homegrown produce long after the growing season is over.

A freeze dryer can help you save money, prevent waste, store what your garden produces, ensure that your particular dietary needs are always provided for, and, of course, enable you and your loved ones to rest a little easier in the event of a crisis.
