We have been having fun using a Harvest Right freeze dryer to prepare really yummy and exciting backpacking meals since we got one a year ago! Some of our favorites so far are pasta salad, tater-tot casserole, guacamole, not to mention the pies pictured above! Freeze-drying makes food lightweight and non-perishable for up to 25 years, so it’s perfect for backpacking but also useful at home.
Freeze dryers are super fun and useful, but they’re complex machines and unfortunately that makes them a little pricey. We’ve met tons of backpackers that do meal-prep like us, but we’ve also been really surprised by the diversity of applications people have told us about for preserved food: we met a truck driver in a grocery store who told us it helps him eat healthier on the road, we heard from a teacher who rehydrates food quickly during her lunch break, many people have told us that they wished they had prepped food just to keep in their cabinets before natural disasters hit, gardeners use them to extend the life of their harvest, and so much more.

I would love to eat more fruit. I don’t because of the texture it changes and because of my autism I can’t do it. So I eat freeze dried fruits and it would be so much easier and cheaper to do it at home
I’d freeze dry all my food for fieldwork!!!
I am working on a garden this year and I would freeze dry veggies and fruits to share with the local food pantry, family and friends.
My husband and I are recently married. For our honeymoon we went backpacking and totally loved it! With this freeze drier I would love to make us meals for this summer’s camping trips! I also plan on starting our first garden and plan to use this machine to preserve produce for the winter.
I’d start with backpacking meals for my Girl Scout Troop and then this summer, bushels of peaches from our tree that ripen at the same time in June, and we struggle to store.
