Harvest Right 5-Tray Medium Black Freeze Dryer with Premier Pump & Mylar Starter Kit

I recently purchased a medium sized Harvest Right freeze dryer, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. This machine has completely opened up a new level of versatility in how I preserve and use food, and I’m genuinely excited about all the possibilities it brings. One of the biggest benefits for me is the potential for long-term savings. With a garden in the works, I’m planning to freeze dry a wide variety of fresh vegetables, herbs, spices, fruits, and even meats. It’s incredibly satisfying knowing I’ll be able to preserve my harvest at peak freshness and reduce waste at the same time. Beyond everyday use, I’m also looking forward to getting creative with it. I plan to make fun freeze-dried candies for my grandchildren, which I know they’ll love. On top of that, I see so many opportunities to use these items in thoughtful, unique gift baskets—especially when paired with homemade jellies or incorporated into beautiful charcuterie boards for holidays and special gatherings. Overall, this freeze dryer feels like an investment not just in food preservation, but in creativity, self-sufficiency, and family experiences. I’m truly thrilled with it and can’t wait to keep exploring everything it can do.

Easy set up. Easy to follow directions. I've ordered an extra set of trays and silicone mats for rotation in the freezer to better utilize the freeze dryer. I'm very excited to embark on this new food preservation technique.

This has been such an awesome addition to our home, particularly for healthy snacks for our 4 kids. So far we've done yogurt bites, breast milk, fruit, veggies. It makes shelf stable, mess free food to throw in a diaper bag or school lunch and my kids love the crunch!

We recently purchased a Harvest Right freeze dryer and are extremely happy with our purchase. It came with everything we needed to get started and the app is very helpful. We love that it preserves the food without destroying its nutritional value. We can freeze dry a good amount of food and zero waste. We highly recommend this freeze dryer.
