Harvest Right Freeze Dryer vs. Store-bought Freeze Dried Food
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 мар 2019
- Would you like to build an emergency food storage but don’t know whether you should purchase freeze-dried food from a store or freeze dry your own food at home? The answer may be easier than you think.
Freeze drying at home with a Harvest Right freeze dryer will quickly pay for itself by helping your family save money in a number of ways. Some of these ways are:
-Families can preserve food they normally waste and throw away
-You can easily preserve produce from your gardens and fruit trees
-And you can finally create your own long-term, emergency food storage
With a home freeze dryer, families are able to save food that would otherwise get thrown in the trash or fed down the garbage disposal. In one year, a family will be able to save thousands of dollars simply by saving this extra food. The food they save can then end up being used at a later date or go into that family’s emergency food storage (once again saving on food costs).
Another way a freeze dryer pays for itself is by preserving food a family grows themselves. Many families have great gardens and orchards but find it a struggle to use or even preserve all the produce that arrives during the harvest season. Until now, canning and dehydrating were about the only options a family had to preserve their produce. However, both of these methods have huge drawbacks. It can be messy, hard to do, and both methods use heat which can destroy much of the food’s nutritional value. Freeze drying solves all of these problems. It is extremely easy and since it does not use heat to dry the food up to 97% of the food’s value is retained.
With the high cost of commercially produced freeze-dried food and with the ability to preserve what you grow or would otherwise throw away, a family will easily save thousands of dollars in just the first few months of owning a Harvest Right freeze dryer.

Okay, I have to have one of these.
Thank you for sharing this video. I hope to acquire a FD in the near future
It's an amazing machine. The quality of food you put in is the quality that comes out.
Might mention you can decide on ingredients for all those with allergies or other dietary needs.
ok, where did those numbers come from? The comparison is nonsense :( $2,200 vs $2,200 AND the cost of the other food, and power and time. It's not 1:1 guys, I'd remake this video so it's a bit more honest.
What they were trying to compare was the cost of the commercially produced equal to the cost of a home freeze drier. Continuing to use a home freeze drier would pay for itself in less than a year and you would end up with more food. I agree these machines are a bit pricy. I invested $4300 back in Dec 2918 for my large dryer and oil less pump. But compared to buying commercially produced FD foods what I have put away so far would be around $12,000. I run my dryer almost 24/7 and it has paid for itself twice over. Example: A #10 can of commercially produced beef cubes is about $65 - I can buy beef on sale and fill 3 of those same cans in one batch saving me about $150 minus the cost of the beef, about $3 in electricity, and $3 for Mylar bags and O2 absorbers.
FYI - the large dryer will process more food than the small and medium dryers......combined.
@@jerrysmith372 oil less pump? Do tell I don't see that type of thing on their site last time I checked and that comment 4 months ago, that would change my equation a bit.
@@osufwiffo Yes they sell an oil less vacuum pump and yes it's a bit extra money at $1300. But for me it is so worth the extra money to not have to filter the pump oil after every batch and disassemble the pump and clean it out every 10 batches. The standard pump is messy and runs much louder than the oil less pump. You can inquire about them by contacting HR directly. I stand by my assessment I made earlier that my dryer has paid for itself twice over.
I'm currently drying a load of ham and Navy bean soup I made. Once packaged I'll only need to open it when I need it and add hot water for some good home made bean soup. It's been the best prepping tool I own and I don't regret the investment.
I don't have one yet (gotta wait for them to build it) but I can say it will likely come out cheaper in the long run, depending on your goals. 1 year worth of freeze dried food is roughly $1500 plus, however most ive seen are based on 1000-1500 calories a day (usually on the lower end) most people eat 2000 plus calories a day. Now add in multiple family/people and its going to far exceed that. My goal is to build a large supply that will feed and last for years so its practical to me. If your just planning to persevere a few things short term its probably not worth it. Edit: I hadn't looked at the price of them since after all this stuff went down, its actually much higher cost now for the year supply if you can find any in stock....
@@jerrysmith372 the oilless pump must be sent in for service every two years at a cost of $350 per time. That was my final decision to go with the standard premier pump.
We love our Harvest Right. Have had it 4 years now and have loved all of the wonderful food that we have freeze dried.
I only had my large dryer and oil less pump since Dec. 2018 - I run it almost 24/7 and love it. Best prepping tool I own.
i would love to win or buy one but you do not ship to south Africa according your website i wanted to order one but south Africa is not on your shipping list i really want one
What is the RH of the dried food items? Or what % water remains in the food after freeze drying?
Acre Homestead brought me here
Nice product
Indeed it is. FYI - the large dryer will process more food than the small and medium dryers......combined.
How much store bought freeze dried food can I buy for the cost of the medium unit plus cost of food to freeze dry plus cost of energy to freeze dry?
These latest versions of the home freeze dryers are the best Harvest Right has produced - so easy to use, almost fully automatic. The quality of the FD foods I get is better than what I can buy. I've had my large dryer and oil less pump since Dec. 2018 and it has paid for itself twice over.

Yah, that comparison is way off. You can get a year's worth of food for the cost of a Harvest Right freeze dryer. Don't get me wrong, I'm buying a freeze dryer, but there's no need to BS about cost comparison
