Studies have shown the average American family also throws out about $2,500 – $3000 worth of food each year, so all of that helps put things into perspective a little bit! Although still expensive at $3-4K, the freeze dryer can dry about $10,000 worth of freeze dried food in a year. It was a pretty huge technology undertaking. The people behind Harvest Right spent years figuring out a way to make a $30,000 freeze dryer into something that a consumer could purchase for about 1/10 of the price, plug into a regular home electric outlet, and easily use at home. A comparable freeze dryer before Harvest Right cost over $30,000 and it processed about the same amount of food in a single batch as this one.
For a little perspective, up until now freeze drying technology was only something that large companies could offer in commercially packaged goods. The Freeze Dryer itself carries a substantial price tag, so I realize it’s not an every day appliance like a microwave, or something you buy just “for fun”. I really loved hearing the story of how this company came to be and about the years of work and engineering that went into making this available for the consumer. Not only were the people behind the company gracious, kind, and inviting, but the Freeze Dryer itself was as awesome as I had hoped it would be. I called Harvest Right myself and asked if I could come visit their offices to learn more about it before purchasing, since I would be travelling near them for business anyway. I purchase and use freeze-dried foods often for snacking, in recipes, and for my home food storage, and had no idea you could actually purchase an appliance to do it yourself. My husband and I actually heard ads on our local radio a few months ago for the Harvest Right Freeze Dryer and we were completely intrigued. I’ve been obsessed with this appliance over the past couple of months and I’ve been so anxious to tell you about it! Even if it’s not in your budget, or you’re not interested in purchasing one, I hope that you’ll enjoy reading this post simply to appreciate the technology and see what I’ve been up to in my kitchen lately! I love sharing cool things with you guys, and bringing light to products and companies that you might not know exist. I’m going to try really hard to not sound like an infomercial when I tell you about it, but I’ve found that’s sometimes how it comes out, haha. It’s the first appliance of its kind for in-home use. This profile will be used in our commercial-scale freeze-drying production environment and will be optimised over time.I mentioned on Instagram recently, that of all the amazing, interesting, and innovative appliances I’ve worked with, this was possibly the most amazing, the most interesting, and the most innovative.
