The Freeze Dried Trend with Janna Newcomb Walworth


Listen Later

Janna Newcomb Walworth of Choctaw, OK sells freeze-dried foods with her cottage food business, Janna’s Freeze Dried.

Since the pandemic, freeze-dried foods (especially freeze-dried candy) have become a big cottage food trend.

Janna bought her first freeze dryer in 2020 to help preserve her family’s food, but little did she know that it would turn into a thriving business!

Soon people were asking to buy her products, stores started asking to sell them, and demand has organically grown to the point where she now has 5 freeze dryers, which cost a few thousand dollars each!

Janna has become pretty obsessed with freeze drying anything and everything, and as you’ll see, it’s paid off in a big way.
