Best meat products that you can freeze dry with your Harvestright freeze dryer.


In this section, we'll discuss some of the best meat products that can be freeze dried with your Harvestright freeze dryer. Freeze drying is a great way to preserve meat because it removes all the moisture while retaining its flavor and nutrients.

  1. Beef: Beef is one of the most popular meats for freeze drying. It has a long shelf life and can be used in various dishes such as stews, casseroles, and soups. Freeze dried beef can also be rehydrated easily and maintain its texture and taste. Cook the meat and cut the fat off and cut into smaller peices for drying. Fats dont Freeze Dry very well
  2. Chicken: Chicken is another popular meat for freeze drying. It is a lean protein source that can be used in salads, sandwiches, and even as a topping for pizzas. Freeze dried chicken has a longer shelf. I dont put raw meet in my HarvestRight Freeze Dryer. Funny not Funny thing when the Suburban Prepper was going through SERE school in the Army, a part of that training involved processing our own chickens, I didnt let mine cook long enough and the Chicken got its revenge going out on me. Nothing worse than the Shits on Escape and Evade patrolling
  3. Ham: Ham is a cured meat that is also suitable for freeze drying. It can be diced or sliced and used in dishes like omelets, quiches, and sandwiches. Frozen dried ham can also be rehydrated to make a delicious cooked ham dish. The great thing when rehydrating any meat after Freeze Dry is that you can rehydrate in any marinade or sauce for a unique flavor. It makes Freeze Drying Fun
  4. Turkey: Turkey is a lean protein that is often consumed during special occasions like Thanksgiving and Christmas. However, leftover turkey can be freeze dried for later use in soups, stews, and casseroles. Freeze drying also helps to retain the flavor and nutrients of the turkey, making it a great option for long-term storage
  5. Bacon: Bacon can be freeze dried for a crispy and delicious snack or used to add flavor to dishes like salads, soups, and sandwiches. Freeze dried bacon can also be crumbled and used as a topping for pizzas or incorporated into homemade trail mixes. The possibilities are endless with freeze dried bacon. Plus, it has a long shelf life and is easy to rehydrate for use in cooking. Cook in the oven and drain off the fat. It does work.
  6. Hamburger : Hamburger is a versatile meat that can be used in a variety of dishes. Freeze drying hamburger not only extends its shelf life, but it also makes it easy to rehydrate and use in meals like chili, tacos, and spaghetti. It's also great for camping and backpacking trips as freeze dried hamburger takes up less space and weight than traditional frozen or canned options.

7 Deer meat : Deer meat, also known as venison, is a lean and flavorful protein that can be freeze dried for long-term storage. It's perfect for making jerky or rehydrating to use in stews, roasts, and other hearty dishes. Freeze drying deer meat also helps to retain its natural flavor and nutrients, making it a great option for those looking for a healthy and convenient protein source. Plus, it's a great way to make use of any excess deer meat from hunting season.


  1. Steak : Steak is a popular choice for freeze drying due to its tender and juicy texture. Freeze dried steak can be used in meals like stir-fries, fajitas, and stroganoff. It's also great for backpacking and camping trips as it takes up less space and weight than traditional frozen or fresh options. Plus, freeze drying helps to retain the flavor of the steak, making it a delicious option for any meal.
  2. Organ meat : While not as commonly consumed, organ meats such as liver, heart, and kidneys are highly nutritious and can be freeze dried for long-term storage. They can be used in dishes like pâté, stews, and even in pet food for added nutrients. Freeze drying also helps to preserve the flavor of these meats, making them a great option for those looking to add variety.
  3. Shrimp: Cooked Shrimp can also be freeze dried for long-term storage. This makes it a convenient option for those who love seafood but may not have access to fresh shrimp year-round. Freeze dried shrimp can be rehydrated and used in dishes like shrimp scampi, pasta, and salads. It's also a great source of protein and essential nutrients. I will not allow any raw meat to go into my Freeze Dryer

Eat Bugs and Like it

 You ever watch Starship Troopers ?  Earth battles bugs from outer space. I guess Earth won because we are now eating bugs. Companies have started to use insect protein as a SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVE to cows and chickens . They say that bugs are a good source of protein and other nutrients, and can be produced with less pollution than cows or pigs  and chickens Yes they do blame Cow Flatuence Another reason why companies are turning to insect protein as a sustainable alternative is because of the negative environmental impact caused by traditional livestock farming, specifically in terms of cow farts. Cows and other ruminant animals produce methane gas as a byproduct of their digestion process which contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, livestock farming is responsible for 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. In contrast, insects do not produce methane gas or other harmful gase...

12 planting tips for a better Prepper Garden

    Some key point for your Prepper Garden 1. Use raised garden beds by buying water troughs for animals. I have 40- and 110-gallon size  ones. They are great for deep rooted veggies like carrots and potatoes. Raised garden beds are a great way to maximize space and improve the quality of your soil. While traditional in-ground gardens can become compacted and lack nutrients over time, raised beds allow for better drainage and easier soil maintenance. Consider using water troughs, typically used for animal feeding, as they come in various sizes and provide ample depth for deep-rooted vegetables such as carrots and potatoes. Make sure you drill holes on the bottom to facilitate  proper drainage. 2. Start composting with kitchen scraps and yard waste to create nutrient-rich soil for your garden. Composting is a great way to reduce household waste and create a sustainable source of nutrients for your garden. You can start by collecting kitchen scraps such as fruit a...
