Using the freeze drying process on a variety of candies to create tasty treats and snacks has taken the freeze drying industry by storm. For many small business owners out there today, their journey started as a hobby and has now branched out into many sales from dedicated customers. Some individuals have developed sales locations, including store-within-a-store displays.
While the increasing freeze dried opportunities are not simply limited to freeze dried candy, it is definitely one of the most prosperous and attractive markets in the industry. If you are looking to make your break by using the freeze drying process, you could entertain plenty of the other options (that are also growing exponentially!), including freeze dried pet food, pet treats, and ready-to-eat meals.
Some freeze drying businesses with humble beginnings have become so busy with special orders that they have shifted their sales model to seasonal offerings. Yet another business has taken a new turn and branched out their services to provide freeze dried process and science counseling.
Using freeze drying to preserve food isn’t a new concept, but it has received a huge boost in popularity in the past few years. Freeze drying is a process that removes up to 98% of the water from food. It protects it from moisture and air and also prevents fungi and other organisms from reproducing. While the process isn’t easy, it does offer a variety of nutritional benefits. Additionally, most freeze dried foods will last for at least two or three decades.
Some Prime Examples Of Freeze Dried Success
Burkett’s Freeze Dried Treats opened a store-within-a-store in a local restaurant named Watecha Bowl last week. The company offers specialty candy packages for holidays, events, and other special occasions. It also sells emergency stockpiles, stocking stuffers, camping meals, and other freeze dried items to individuals, with plans to expand its product line.
Another business, in particular, plans to sell freeze dried vegetables. Mandy Wolz, who has been a corporate event planner, started the company when she was free to do so. She plans to attend at least three to four farmers’ markets each week during the summer to offer her products. She also plans to expand the company’s product line to include freeze-dried vegetables flavored with seasonings.
