Why Freeze Dry?
While traditional food preservation practices are a staple in our household, freeze drying your food saves up to 95% of the nutrients (while other methods save 60% at most)!
And freeze dried foods can last up to 25 years on the shelf!
✔️More nutrients.
✔️A longer shelf life (by years and years).
Sounds like a win in our book!
And when you use Carolyn Thomas’ methods, you can create huge cost savings over time.
There’s nothing like pulling a nutritious meal off the shelf on a busy evening, rehydrating it in minutes, and enjoying that “hot off the stove” taste as though it were JUST made.
With freeze drying, you can make your own delicious snacks and meals at less than a third of the cost of buying them at the store.
And you know every ingredient (preservative-free) that went into each batch.
It’s the closest to the original taste and texture you can get when preserving food, and it takes a fraction of the time.
If you want more food security, healthier meal options for the family, and long-term cost savings with a tool you’ll use and love for years to come, then join my freeze drying class today!
Meet Your Instructor:
Carolyn Thomas
Hi, I’m Carolyn Thomas! My husband and I live on a thriving 40-acre homestead in North Idaho where we raise our own meat, 90% of all dairy products, and 75% of our own fruit and vegetables (freeze drying helps me do this!).
I’m the co-owner of Homesteading Family blog and YouTube channel, and the lead teacher at the Homesteading Family School.
Freeze drying is my best kept secret for cutting my preservation time in half and bringing nutritious meals to the table in minutes – because life gets busy and we love having quick, healthy options at our fingertips.
When I started freeze drying years ago, there was little to no information on the topic and now I’m releasing my first book, “Freeze Drying the Harvest” coming this Fall 2024!
Join me in my pantry as I walk you through how to easily turn fresh food into long-lasting shelf-stable snacks, sides, and full meals.
By the end of this class, you’ll be ready to:
Choose, set up, and run a freeze dryer It’s a big decision, but the overwhelm disappears when you know how to choose the right size, what surface it needs to go on, and how to program it to freeze dry all your favorite foods.
Stock your pantry with high-quality food From selecting what food to freeze dry, to getting it stored for short, medium, or long-term use, you’ll be able to fill (maybe even overstuff) your shelves with delicious food that maintains optimal nutrition.
Create grab-and-go meals Imagine eating homemade chicken pot pie, broccoli and cheese soup, lasagna, pot roast and potatoes, or stir fry with beef and veggies for lunch instead of fast food. You can, when you freeze dry your left overs! Save money, time, and your health with nourishing meals on the god.
Preserve food at the height of season and at the lowest cost Never again worry about prices when food is out of season and hard to find. Instead, freeze dry it when it’s readily available and have it all year long.
Make healthy, easy snacks No more packaged, processed junk when your kids want a snack. Instead, they’ll reach for freeze dried grapes, kiwi, apples, or even garlicy green beans. You’ll be happy and they’ll love it.
