Food drying is making a comeback!
In this time of economic concerns,
food drying can help each one of you save money and food.
Note: Product prices listed on this site do NOT include shipping, because I try to keep shipping costs to a minimum.
I am dedicated to the hope that food drying will find a welcome place in everyone’s kitchen and that every farmer’s market will have at least one dried food vendor.
With heart and soul, I pray we all embrace a variety of ways to live more sustainable lives.
Our Take on Sustainability
Over the course of ten days my husband and I canned 28 quarts of tomatoes, 48 pints of beets and made 10 gallons of refrigerator pickles.

Our goal is to become 100% food sustainable. That said, we realize we need to buy food items we cannot produce ourselves or purchase locally, so to off-set what we purchase we dry and sell our extra food at the local farmer’s market. Continued...
