    I have a large garden. each year I’m able to preserve enough food to last me all winter.

    having the ability to freeze dry over regular dehydrating would expand my food stores from 4-6 months to 8-12.

    imagine going to the grocery store once every 3 months to buy common items like sugar, coffee, etc.

    right now my monthly grocery bill is like $200 for a family of five.

    food preservation is integral to reducing that further.
