The large H R freeze dryer is on sale for $3099 now for black Friday sale. If a person only buys it to freeze dry meat and eggs and diligently uses it three times per week, you will see the payback within three months or less if compared to buying freeze dried food. May of 2019 we got the best deal available for $2800 for the large size. It has paid itself back over twenty times. We freeze dry what we grow and meat we buy. Ours only came with the standard pump at that time, so now you get the premium pump for only $300 more. Plus all the kinks have been worked out with the software. BUY IT! We saved up for ten years before we got it. We knew it was going to come out years before it became available.
Wow! Didn't think about the holiday sales. I have a link in the description for Harvest Rights's website but also heard Costco is selling them now. Thanks for sharing!
Very informative video. And yes there is a lot of things that I wish I would have known ahead of time. We have spent over $7,000 so far. And I'm wondering have you checked out any of the other freeze-drier companies? Do the other companies pumps interchange with the harvest Right freeze dryer? I like the product it produces also but I am finding that the repair work that we spent several hundred dollars sending our machine back to them is not holding together And they had us to take it apart several times ourself which my husband was not happy with. And the repair work seem to be on the shawty side and not holding together.
No, we haven't looked into other companies. We live off the beaten path so in our circumstances we may be in the same boat of finding a place to make the repairs. I feel like I've spent too much already to start fresh with another company.
Of course! Settings for the eggs is pretty much the same with the soup, I add extra time on freezing, drop the temperature more than normal, and add more time to drying. I'm working on another video that will share our favorite recipes for the freeze dryer.
Too expensive for us. I waterbath, pressure can dehydrate and purchase freeze dried #10 cans from LDS storehouse . The math works best for us as when all said and done $7000 is too much and better utilized on food. I have 35 Jumbo Cornish Cross Hens to process in 3 weeks so our freezers are full. I’ve thought long and hard and any leftover foods goes to our laying hens. Thx for your content as it fortified my reasoning to save my $7000
We are all about saving food. I hate wasting so if anything can go to our chickens or cats, it will. Good luck with those 35 hens! Hopefully you will have decent weather for it.
@ , yes I tried to fit it in as we had a Bahamas Cruise for a week and had to wait to get back first week in October so yes here in Northern Utah, I hate processing chickens in the cold and snow but it is what it is here on our 4 acres. I know I blew it. We don’t waste food and that’s been a problem in the past but we have calculated to make smaller portions here in Eden, Utah. Our garden production has been fantastic even though we have a short growing season as we live on a ski resort. I may change my mind on freeze drying as the results are fantastic but with 22 grandchildren and 8 kids, $7000 comes in handy. Keep up the great content.

Could you post your mac and cheese powder recipe, please? Also, when you do raw eggs, what are your settings?
Of course! Settings for the eggs is pretty much the same with the soup, I add extra time on freezing, drop the temperature more than normal, and add more time to drying. I'm working on another video that will share our favorite recipes for the freeze dryer.
