My Freeze-Dry Story



Hello and Welcome to U-Freeze It. I'm glad you've stopped by to check out this very unique opportunity.  Let me introduce myself and tell you why I started this business.

My name is Kelly, and like you, I care about what my family eats.  I also want to make sure that my family always has enough to eat under any circumstance.  As a family of eight, this can be challenging! Over the years I've learned a few tricks to help feed my family affordably like buying in bulk, buying in season, and buying things my family actually likes.  Doing these things has allowed me to get larger quantities of food at good prices and store them for longer-term use.

So I've always believed that having a little food stored up was a good idea.  But when the pandemic hit in 2020 my gut told me it was time to really kick things into high gear.  Maybe lots of people's guts did the same thing cause I'm sure you also noticed that the grocery shelves were looking pretty bare.  Panic had set in!

I decided it was time to invest in some really long-term food storage and I began researching freeze-dried food options.  Well, again, I was behind the curve!  All the freeze-dried food seemed to be SOLD OUT!  Not only that, but prices were SKY HIGH.  Great!  The pandemic whooped me again.

At the time, I didn't have many options other than to get in line and wait for my order.  So I did!  I made a purchase for a 4-month supply of food from one of the big-name freeze dry food companies.  Keep in mind that this would really only be a 2-week supply for my family of eight, but it was all my budget could handle, and it still cost me nearly two thousand dollars!!! Unbelievable. Not only that, but I waited four months to get my shipment!  What the...?

When my order finally came, of course, I looked through the meals to see what was in there. I hadn't been given a menu to choose from. I just knew that "calories" were coming.  As I looked through the boxes I began to wonder if this was food that my family would even eat. My stomach went cold and I wondered if I had wasted a whole lot of time and a whole lot of money.

Enter Harvest Right home freeze dryer. I'd heard of it before but never considered it an option because of the cost, the size, the maintenance, and the presumed impracticality of it.  But when I compared the cost of the machine to the cost of a 2-week supply of sketchy food that I had to wait four months to get, I decided to take the plunge and invest in a freeze dryer.  I'm so happy I did!

Since buying the freeze dryer I've been able to turn out an amazing amount of high-quality, customized, nutrition-packed, tasty food that I know my family will eat.  I  have total control over the content of my food and how it is stored!  I love it.  

Well, I know that not everyone can buy a freeze dryer, especially a large one. I also know that a lot of people around me are looking for ways to increase their food security while maintaining some control over what goes in to a freeze-dried meal.  Many families with special dietary needs and pets simply can't eat or don't want what's being sold in the commercial freeze-dry markets.  (Really, pancake mix and mac n' cheese will only get you so far!)

That's how U-Freeze it was born!  I am happy to be able to accommodate a limited number of customers who want the same things I do.  Food storage that is

  • Reliably long term
  • Tasty
  • Nutritious
  • Customized to special dietary needs
  • Cost-effective
  • Convenient
  • Cleanly Sourced
  • Available in days, not months

You have control over ALL these elements of your food storage when you use U-FreezeIt services.  I look forward to helping your family toward peace of mind as you build your own cache of freeze-dried foods.

See you soon!

Kelly

Freeze Dried Fruit and Veggie Powders

  "I'm having way too much fun with my freeze dryer!" says one of my good friends who is another avid FD enthusiast.  And I agree with her! There are just so many options when you choose to freeze dry your own food.  My food storage is no longer limited to the boring old "wheat, rice, beans and oats" routine.  My food storage is only limited by my imagination, which is currently running wild.  My plan is to come up with recipes for creating your own smoothies and drinks with these powders. But I see how these could also be used to add nutrition and flavor to pancakes, muffins, and quickbreads.  Maybe I could even sneak some kale powder into the lasagna and my kids will never know.  Pictured above you see strawberry, mango, banana, pear, kale, and beets.  I've also done apple but it didn't make it to the photo.  I love all the vivid colors and boy do they smell wonderful!  I'm wondering if they could even be used as flavor enhancers inste...
