Mission: Freeze drying to provide excellent, shelf stable products for everyone.
In May 2024, Drew realized just how much money he’d spent on freeze-dried meals he didn’t actually enjoy during his hunting trips. Determined to create something better, he pitched the idea of buying a freeze dryer to his soon-to-be wife, Adrina, on a Wednesday. By Friday, the machine was on its way, and by the end of the month, NCK Freeze Dried, LLC. was born.
What started with freeze-dried candies (our first official product, the fan-favorite “Skittos”) quickly grew into an interest for learning what all our freeze dryer was capable of. After mastering candy, we branched out into one-ingredient, organic pet treats and eventually into full freeze dried meals, testing and refining recipes until we landed on a few that everyone enjoyed.
Today, we’re a husband-and-wife team who spend our evenings and weekends growing and evolving this small business. We value the hard work, honesty, and neighborly spirit of our rural community, and we pour those same values into every product we make. Through all of life’s seasons - marriage, new beginnings, and everything in between, our goal at NCKFD stays the same: to create excellent, shelf-stable products for everyone.
