Freeze Dryers to Purchase
———————————————
Harvest Right Freeze Dryers - Start with the Large and then upgrade to an XL as you start increasing your customer portfolio. https://affiliates.harvestright.com/1...
StayFresh Freeze Dryer - https://stayfreshfreezedry.com/?sca_r.... I like the freezing speed and dry times of this machine. It's a little larger than the Harvest Right Medium but you can do 12-13 pounds of food in it which is only a few pounds less than the Harvest Right Large capacity.
