My wife has tried a lot of stuff. I like black tail steak. I break it up and put it in a mountain house on hunting trips so it's a real meal. I don't like it when she does candy

My wife bought the large one a couple years ago, had to send it back 3 times. She's meticulous with maintenance and record keeping. There's a better brand made in the states, can't remember the name. I heard prolonged use with candy is bad for the machine. Do your homework and good luck.

I got the same freeze dryer a few years ago with the intention of freezer drying our surplus chicken eggs in the summer and for vegetables from the garden. I used it a few times for eggs and garden veggies before we moved and don’t have a vegetable garden anymore and all but two chickens have been killed by various predators. Now my kids keep it going with skittles and ice cream sandwiches cut into quarters. Strawberries and chunks of pineapple are pretty good too. I’ve also done a few trays of chili in it and then sealed it into serving size containers and they can be reheated with a little hot water.
As far as selling stuff my friends kids started a meal worm farm going in there backyard. Once it got going it was growing way more than they could sell live, so the kids started dehydrating them and selling them at the farmers market as boutique pet and chicken feed and I forget what they were selling them for but it was about five times what I thought it would be and he said they sold out every weekend. Interesting about meal worms.we buy them dried for our chickens and they are expensive. Bb
