What is Freeze Drying?
Freeze Drying is a food preservation process that, until now, has been reserved for astronauts and the military!
Foods are first frozen to -40℉. The ice is converted to a gas and removed from the chamber by a vacuum. The food that remains is now completely dry.
Preserve your garden produce, create the perfect emergency food supply, make camping meals, and enjoy healthy snacks!
Unlike other methods of food preservation, freeze drying does not shrink or toughen the food, and retains flavour, colour, and nutrition.
The Ultimate, Low Maintenance, Food Preparedness Solution!
Shelf Life
Refrigerated, frozen, and canned food just doesn’t last very long. Freeze-dried food will last up to 25 years and does not need to be rotated like other foods. Freeze-dried food is perfect for home storage.

Easy Ways to Create Food Storage On a Budget.
Garden
Many people have great gardens and orchards but struggle to preserve their harvest and store it for later use. With an in-home freeze dryer, the preservation process is simple and mess free. Plus, when freeze dried, the food tastes the same as it did when it was fresh.
Keep your home-grown fruits and vegetables fresh for years and years. Freeze drying at home is the very best way to preserve your garden havest. It truly is the gardener’s best friend.
Buy Bulk
Families can significantly reduce their grocery bills by purchasing foods in bulk or during sales. The Harvest Right Freeze Dryer allows you to preserve meat, veggies, fruit, dairy and herbs until needed. In 5 to 10 years, your food might be worth many times what it is today.
Leftover Meals
Studies show that the average Canadian household throws out 140 kg of food per year!
Food is thrown out because people either get tired of leftover meals or it spoils before it is consumed. With an in-home freeze dryer, families can preserve leftover meals, fruits, vegetables and meats for future use, cutting cost on future groceries.

How Does The Freeze Dryer Work?
STEP 2
Once the food is frozen, the freeze dryer creates a powerful vacuum around the food. As the food is slightly warmed, the ice in the food sublimates and changes directly from a solid to a gas. That water vapor is then discarded.
STEP 3
When completely dry, food is removed from the freeze dryer and sealed in moisture and oxygen proof packaging to ensure freshness until opened.
How to Rehydrate?
When you are ready to eat the food, you can eat it dry, or simply add water to rehydrate!

Will You Be Ready?
Prepare for any emergency
There is no better way to prepare for an emergency than with a home freeze dryer. Freeze-dried food is perfect for emergency food supplies, bug out bags, 72-hour kits, and other survival packs. With a home freeze dryer, you will be prepared for any kind of emergency.
NATURAL DISASTERS
Most people will be affected by some type of serious disaster in their lifetime. Home freeze drying puts you in control of your family’s survival, no matter the circumstances.
MAN-MADE DISASTERS
Man-made disasters such as war, explosions, chemical spills, riots, and terrorism, cause human suffering, loss of life, and food shortages. Freeze drying gives you peace of mind in case any of these worst-case scenarios occur.
FINANCIAL DISTRESS
A home freeze dryer allows you to easily preserve large amounts of food and create a high quality emergency food supply, so you can take care of yourself and loved ones in case of job loss or financial downturns.
POWER GRID FAILURE
Frozen food works well for longer term food storage, but what happens in the event of power grid failure? How long will your chest freezer keep your food cold enough to prevent spoiling?
SUPPLY-CHAIN INTERRUPTIONS
How long would your local grocery stores have food on the shelf in the event of a supply-chain disruption? A week? A day? Possibly only a few hours?
UNEXPECTED GUESTS
And we’re only half joking! We hope all your “emergencies” are simple, such as unexpected dinner guests and busy weeknights.
SAVE MONEY
Many families purchase commercially freeze-dried food from reputable companies, a costly alternative when compared to in-home freeze drying.
Buying freeze-dried food from a store is expensive. The food is often full of salt and other preservatives and the limited choice means you buy meals you may not even like eating. Freeze drying your own meals and produce is a great way to save money when building your emergency food supply.
With Harvest Right’s Home Freeze Dryer, a family can create their own freeze-dried food at significantly reduced costs, without the additional preservatives and additives.

Prepare Lightweight Food
You Can Easily Take Anywhere
Harvest Right lets you freeze dry your own food at home to be used on your next hike, backpacking adventure, hunting trip, or campout. It is lightweight, has less salt, and tastes better than anything else that will fit in your backpack. It’s perfect for every outdoor enthusiast.
CAMPING
There is no reason why you shouldn’t enjoy your favorite meals at your next campsite. You can freeze dry lightweight, easy-to-prepare meals that will taste fantastic. In fact, you can eat as well in the wild as you do at home.
HIKING & BACKPACKING
Freeze dry your favorite food and enjoy it on the trail during your next hike or backpacking adventure. It is lightweight and easy to prepare (just add hot water). Take your favorite homemade or restaurant meals.
HUNTING & FISHING
Avid hunters and fishermen can end up with too much meat or fish all at once. Now you can freeze dry any extra, whether cooked or raw. When you rehydrate the food, you won’t know the difference between fresh and freeze dried.
ROAD TRIPS & PICNICS
Ideally picnic food should be delicious, lightweight, easy-to-prepare, and not require refrigeration. Freeze drying at home allows you to easily create weeks worth of food for the next time you decide to hit the road.

If You Like Canning or Dehydrating, You’re Going to Love Freeze Drying
Perfectly preserve all your favorite foods with very little effort. Easily create a home food supply that is tastier, healthier, and more diverse than any other food preservation methods.
BETTER THAN CANNING
Freeze drying causes very little damage to the nutritional value of fresh food. This preservation method preserves nearly all of the nutrients found in the food prior to being freeze dried. Whereas, canning and other preservation methods can destroy much of the nutrition found in fresh food.
BETTER THAN DEHYDRATING
The process of dehydrating affects the taste, color, and nutrition. Dehydrating destroys nearly half of the nutritional value. Freeze-dried food, in contrast, preserves nutrition and looks and tastes just like it did when fresh.
BETTER THAN STORE-BOUGHT
With a home freeze dryer you can control the quality, taste, and natural goodness of the food you are storing. Plus, the cost of your food storage will be far less.

Operational FAQs
❓ How does the freeze dryer work?
Freeze drying might sound high-tech, but the entire process is fully automatic — just load your food, press start, and the machine does the rest.
Here’s how it works:
-
🧊 Freeze: Your raw or cooked food is frozen inside the unit to between -30°F and -50°F.
-
🌀 Vacuum: The machine creates a vacuum in the chamber.
-
🌬️ Sublimation: As the food is gently warmed, the ice turns directly into vapor and is removed — skipping the liquid stage entirely.
-
🔔 Done alert: When the process is complete, you’ll hear a beep to let you know it’s ready.
-
🫙 Package: Remove your freeze-dried food and store it in moisture- and oxygen-proof containers (like mylar bags or canning jars).
-
💧 Rehydrate: (Optional) Add water later, and your food comes back to life with its original taste, texture, and nutrition.
It’s one of the most powerful ways to preserve food — while keeping it tasting freshly made!
What types of food can be freeze dried? 🍏🍳🥛🥩
You can freeze dry almost anything — and it’s kind of addictive once you start experimenting!
✅ Great candidates for freeze drying:
-
Fruits & Veggies: apples, bananas, strawberries, peaches, tomatoes, green beans, onions, peppers, potatoes, spinach — and more
-
Meats & Seafood: beef, pork, turkey, chicken, shrimp, lobster, pulled pork
-
Dairy & Eggs: cheese, yogurt, scrambled eggs
-
Treats: even ice cream works!
🍽️ Full meals? Absolutely.
Favourite homemade meals freeze dry beautifully — like:
-
Lasagna
-
Chili
-
Mac & cheese
-
Chicken a la king
-
Casseroles
-
Pasta sauces
-
Rice dishes
-
Beef stew
Start with the meals your family already loves. Freeze drying doesn’t just preserve them — it locks in the flavor, nutrition, and convenience.
⚖️ How much food can be freeze dried at a time?
That depends on the size of your freeze dryer — but even the smallest unit can handle a surprising amount per batch!
🥕 Food Capacity Per Batch:
-
Small: 6–10 lbs fresh / 1.5–2 gallons freeze-dried
-
Medium: 10–15 lbs fresh / 2–3.5 gallons freeze-dried
-
Large: 18–23 lbs fresh / 4–6 gallons freeze-dried
-
XL: 40–50 lbs fresh / 8–12 gallons freeze-dried
📅 Annual Capacity (based on ~200 batches/year):
-
Small: ~260 gallons / 1,200 lbs of food
-
Medium: ~390 gallons / 2,000 lbs
-
Large: ~655 gallons / 3,600 lbs
-
XL: ~1,400 gallons / 8,000 lbs
That’s a lot of food preserved — and a great way to reduce waste, save money, and build a long-term food supply.
🕥 How long does it take to freeze dry each batch?
Most batches take between 20 to 40 hours to complete.
The exact time depends on a few factors:
-
Food type: Meats, peas, and corn dry quickly, while foods like squash and watermelon take longer.
-
Quantity: A fuller load will take longer than a light one.
-
Thickness: Thinner slices = faster drying.
The good news? You don’t have to guess.
Your freeze dryer automatically senses when the food is done and beeps to let you know. Just load it and go — the machine does the rest.
🚫 What cannot be freeze dried?
While freeze drying works for most foods, there are a few that don’t do well — especially oily or sugary items. That’s because freeze dryers remove water, not oil or fat.
❌ Foods that don’t freeze dry well:
-
Peanut butter
-
Pure chocolate
-
Butter
-
Honey
-
Syrup
-
Jam or jelly
These foods either stay gooey or spoil quickly because they retain oils and sugars.
✅ Bonus Freeze Drying Tips:
-
Blanch potatoes first, or they’ll oxidize and turn black.
-
Label raw meats, fish, or eggs — freeze drying doesn’t kill bacteria.
-
Dip apples in lemon juice to prevent browning.
-
Peel or halve fruits and veggies, or place them skin-side down.
-
For small items like grapes or cherry tomatoes, try the “two lids + bread knife” trick to halve them quickly.
📆 Will all freeze-dried food last 25 years?
Most freeze-dried foods can last up to 25 years — but only if they’re stored properly.
🛑 What causes food to break down over time?
The biggest enemies are:
-
Heat
-
Light
-
Air (oxygen)
✅ For best long-term results:
-
Use airtight, light-blocking mylar bags
-
Add an oxygen absorber to each bag
-
Store in a cool, dark place
When stored this way, most foods will stay good for 25+ years, and meats typically last around 15 years.
❄️ Is it ok to freeze things prior to placing in the freeze dryer?
Yes — absolutely!
In fact, pre-freezing your food is a great idea. It can help speed up the overall freeze-drying cycle.
Your freeze dryer is designed to accept frozen food and will cool it even further — down to around -40°F — before beginning the drying process.
Pro tip: Pre-freezing on an extra set of trays makes it even easier to load and go!

Real Testimonials From Real People
One last thing...
In recent years we've all become more aware of how fragile our food supply and distribution systems are. We wanted to create an emergency store of food for our family, but the logistics of expiry dates, rotating out food, and expense were big issues. When we ordered our own home freeze dryer, we were hooked and wanted to share it with our neighbours and friends.
Being self-reliant isn't selfish. It allows you to help a neighbour in need, and in a crisis it allows the limited supplies to get to those who need it most. Our mission with Freeze Drying Alberta is to equip families to create their own sustainable food supply - and create a more food secure Alberta !
