How it all began
Our story at Grandpa Jerry's Meal Ingredients began in February of 2026 with a simple, yet profound, purchase: a home freeze dryer. Faced with challenging economic times and the rising cost of food, we sought a more practical and sustainable approach to food preservation than traditional canning. After the first few batches, we were completely hooked. Freeze drying proved to be a superior method, perfectly preserving food's original flavor, texture upon rehydration, natural color, and most importantly, its vital nutritional value for the long term.
