Discover Power of Freeze Drying

Have you ever wondered how freeze-dried foods are made, or how you could use freeze drying in your own home? Whether you’re prepping for emergencies, planning for allergy-friendly food storage, or just curious about the process, join Purdue Extension’s Monica Nagele for a workshop on July 22 and get all your questions answered!

Join us on Monday, July 22 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Exhibit Hall at the Montgomery County 4-H Fairgrounds for a hands-on introduction to freeze drying. This free educational event will cover the science behind freeze drying, how it compares to other food preservation methods, and practical ways families are using freeze-dried foods for everything from healthy snacks to pet food and outdoor adventures.

Participants will get to see a freeze dryer, sample freeze-dried foods and take-home resources to help them decide if home freeze drying is right for them.

Space is limited, so be sure to RSVP by July 15 by calling (765) 364-6363 or e-mailing monicanagele@purdue.edu.
