The Olienyks come from multiple generations of farmers, food producers, determined settlers, and entrepreneurs. It's in our blood. We believe if something is worth doing, it's worth doing well and honest, and those values carry every decision made at Natural State Freeze Dried.
Craig and Rachel are both licensed mental health counselors, and while we believe in nurturing mental well-being, we recognize that good food and food security are primary components of overall well-being.
Feeding America has been a family value for generations, and preserving that tradition is incredibly valuable. We believe in freedom to choose what we eat, what is in our food, and from where it comes. We believe good food is healing and the energy put into making quality products matters.
Freeze-drying on a non-industrial scale is a very recent accomplishment and offers an exciting opportunity for us to offer wholesome food products in a new and long-lasting form—carrying on the tradition of generations of farmers and food producers.
We love our earth. We believe that she can provide all things necessary for our health and well-being. However, society has developed a mostly unsustainable method of managing these resources. The pandemic showed us that just-in-time inventory is a horribly flawed model for food security.
We never know the next event that could cause disruptions in food supply chains or crop failures. Careful planning and consideration is essential for both short and long-term food security and freeze-dried foods should play a key role in your family's food planning. Storing up for lean times is age-old wisdom for good reason.
It is our goal to help you enjoy the best, highest quality freeze-dried food and confections available. In addition to careful quality control and meticulous attention to detail, we take steps during our process to keep our earth the beautiful place it is.
We ship our products in recyclable cardboard boxes containing starch-based packing peanuts that disintegrate in water and are 100% biodegradable. Have fun watching the packing peanuts disintegrate in water. It's fun! It's especially fun for young ones you may have in the home—bonus entertainment!
Freeze-dried foods provide you and your family with sustainable, quality, high nutrient food options regardless of market conditions, environmental calamities and/or shortages. Many freeze-dried foods will last up to 25 years in 7-mil Mylar bags with oxygen absorber packets if kept out of extreme conditions.
Careful planning and consideration is essential for both short and long-term food security. Freeze-dried foods should play a key role in your family's plans.
