Why I Created Freeze-Drying the Harvest
I was skeptical when I got my first freeze-dryer. After all, people have been preserving food without fancy technology for thousands of years! And really, what was I going to do with freeze-dried candy and astronaut ice cream?
But I don't do things halfway, so I went all in on learning how to use this thing and make it work for me.
It gave me back something I didn’t even know was possible as a homesteading mom with 11 kids - my time.
No more standing over a hot stove, watching gauges and adjusting heat. Now I can make a big batch of chili, pop the leftovers into the freeze dryer, and go about my day. A few hours later, I’ve got shelf-stable meals ready to go—nutritious, flavorful, and perfectly preserved.
Freeze drying has transformed how we preserve food here on the homestead. Last year I put up more food than I ever have in my 20 years of homesteading!
BUT, the learning curve was steep. The first time I freeze-dried eggs, I did a huge batch (remember when I said I don't do things halfway?), but I didn't test them properly. When I opened the first jar to make breakfast for my family one morning, the smell made me gag.
Turns out they weren't fully done when I stored them. That sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach as the realization that hundreds of dollars worth of eggs had to be thrown out crashed over me is something I NEVER want you to experience.
I wrote Freeze-Drying the Harvest to help families just like you save time, money and effort by giving you everything you need to know freeze-drying food that actually feeds your family.

“If you own a freeze dryer, you NEED this book. Carolyn has included so much info. There is an A-Z food list with how to charts. There's even a reconstitution chart! Do yourself a favor, get the book and keep it close by so you don't waste time, money and food messing up batches of FD food!”

“This book is everything I hoped for and more! I’ve been freeze drying for 2 years and this book is a complete reference for any questions you might have!”

“Where was this book when I got my machine? Man, she makes it so much easier. I've been freeze drying our veg and stuff for 3 years, so I already knew some of what was in here. But it turns out I was overcomplicating things. And I wasn't getting the hydration part right -- the part where you actually use the stuff you freeze-dried. Carolyn is a really clear teacher. She demystifies the whole process and makes it a lot easier. Gonna try doing meat now, and milk, and even whole meals. This book is going to save me a lot more money at the store! Really glad someone actually took the time to write out every single step and trouble-shoot lots of common problems.”
