Just add water!!
Our kids call every Saturday “Stay Home With Daddy Day” and it’s the day that daddy always makes breakfast - his signature pancakes! One day, Nathan had the bright idea to create a “just add water” mix to bring our pancakes - using organic and farm fresh, freeze dried ingredients from our farm - to your kitchen!
Our eggs are farm fresh from chickens who have been fed non-GMO feed and given lots of space to roam! We’ve freeze dried whole eggs to maintain their nutrients and packed them in sealed mylar with an O2 absorber.
Stored properly (in a temperature controlled setting, out of direct sunlight or heat), these are packed to last in storage for over 20 years! They’re perfect for your food security stash - or for camping or vacations.
To reconstitute: 1:1 (egg powder:water) // Approximately 3 Tbsp.of our egg powder = 1 egg // Whisk and use like you freshly cracked it!
This kit includes everything you need to make your own delicious elderberry syrup, except for water and local honey (or other sweetener). Using local honey adds some great health benefits and is also great for coughs.
If you are giving this product to a child younger than 1 year old, or cannot tolerate honey, you will want to use another sweetener. Ideas include maple syrup, food grade vegetable glycerine, agave nectar, or even simple syrup. You can also use pasteurized honey from the store - just keep in mind that local raw honey is best, if you have access it and can tolerate it.
In the packet is a blend of organic, immune-boosting herbs - elderberry, echinacea, ginger, cinnamon & cloves. You may choose to add your own herbs (i.e., fresh garlic [cut up and sitting out for 10 minutes before adding to the mixture], cayenne pepper, etc.) and really can't go wrong if you do! I tend to keep the spicier herbs out of my syrup to ensure my kids will take it.
We are working on perfecting our goat milk soap and are testing different recipes!
We use milk from our own goats and combine with high quality ingredients, such as lard, tallow, coconut oil, and olive oil. So far, just our immediate family has used it and we - especially those of us with sensitive skin - love it!
We can’t wait to bring it to you!
Do you have a favorite recipe that you’d like to freeze dry and store in your food security stash? Or maybe you would like to freeze dry a meal to take camping or on vacation with you.
Let us help you make this a reality!
Take some ideas for freeze drying from our list of uses:
food security stash
personal portions of leftovers
eggs - when the chickens lay like crazy in the summer (one load = 4 dozen eggs)
cooked and freeze-dried foods for camping or road trips
cooked oatmeal for instant oats
colostrum from our dairy cows and goats
fruits for delicious snacking
have an idea? just ask!
Story time: we live far from family and when we went on our annual family vacation, we threw a couple packs of home grown freeze dried ground beef in our suitcase. When it was our night to make supper, we rehydrated the meat and cooked it up in spaghetti, just like it was fresh from the grocery store!
The sky is the limit on what we can freeze dry for you. Well, almost the limit, anyway - high fat foods, such as butter or cream, do not freeze dry well and we also do not freeze dry pure soft/liquid sugar, such as honey, maple syrup, or marshmallow cream.
Price is per full load and usually takes approximately 2 days to process.
Your responsibilities:
prepare the food (i.e., crack and scramble eggs in ziplock bags of 1 dozen or cut up fruit/veggies).
provide airtight jars for packing post-drying (we can also package for long-term storage for a small processing fee).
We do the rest!
This is an add-on for our Freeze Drying service!
Let us pack your food and add O2 absorbers to your bags for long-term storage.
This option includes bags for 4 trays of food and O2 absorber in each bag. The bags will be heat sealed for freshness.
Everyday, we gather fresh eggs laid by the hens on our homestead. Because our hens are often allowed to roam, they live their best life and their eggs are highly nutritious and tasty.
These are only available by homestead pickup.
