Freeze drying is a preservation process that removes moisture from food or other items by freezing them and then applying a gentle vacuum. This keeps their shape, flavor, nutrients, and texture intact—without using heat or added preservatives.

You can bring almost anything that contains moisture—fruit, candy, meats, soups, herbs, meals, flowers, even keepsakes like wedding bouquets or sentimental items. If you’re unsure, just ask and we’ll confirm if it’s safe and suitable to freeze dry.

Yes, a little preparation helps. For best results, bring your items clean, cut, and ready for the trays. For example, slice fruits evenly or portion out meals in small containers. We’ll take care of the rest once your items are loaded into the machine.

A typical batch takes between 24 to 72 hours, depending on the moisture level and density of what you bring in. We’ll notify you as soon as your order is complete and ready for pickup.

Pricing depends on the quantity, prep level, and whether you choose to self-package or have us do it for you. See our Pricing Page for detailed information
