Here at Blue Alpine, we are dedicated to making freeze drying easy and accessible to everyone. We are a small team based in Idaho, hard at work designing and manufacturing. Our store is still new, but we are 5 years into development on our freeze dryer. We have spent those years studying the competition and making improvements to our design. We try to use the highest quality materials for our machines to help them last longer without maintenance. Because Blue Alpine is designed and made in the USA, our freeze dryers are one-of-a-kind. We wanted to make a freeze-dryer that was easy to use and easy to maintain. Many of the parts are standardized, like the 12 inch hose which is available at your local Walmart or hardware store, making replacements quick and easy.
