Freeze-Dried Food for Travel, Camping & Summer Fun

$75

with Christine Lunceford

Calendar Jun 25, 2026 at 11 am

Summer is made for getting outside—road trips, lake days, ball games, camping, and everything in between. This workshop is all about making food one less thing to worry about by using freeze-dried foods as simple, real-life solutions for your summer activities.

Participants will learn how to build easy grab-and-go snack kits, pack lightweight meals that don’t require refrigeration, and keep food simple whether you're traveling across the state or heading out for the day. We’ll cover practical ideas for family trips, kid-friendly options, and ways to avoid relying on convenience store food while still keeping things quick and easy.

Christine, along with her husband and sister, has spent the past five years freeze-drying food for their families and business. What started as a way to store food has become a go-to tool for making travel and busy days easier—using real ingredients that are ready when you are.

This class focuses on simple planning, less mess, and real food on the go—so you can spend more time enjoying your summer and less time thinking about meals. Participants will leave with ideas and a suggested list of freeze-dried foods to keep on hand for travel, outdoor activities, and everyday summer adventures.

Limited seating available. Early registration is recommended. This workshop is part of a series. Check out the other available classes to continue building your confidence with freeze-dried foods.

Herbal soaks offer therapeutic relief by combining warm water with botanicals to reduce stress, relax muscles, improve circulation, and soothe skin conditions. Herbal liniments, also topically applied, use herbal tinctures or oil-based solutions that penetrate quickly into the skin for rapid relief of pain and inflammation. This method increases local blood circulation, promotes healing to muscle aches, sprains, bruises, and arthritis.
