Solar Dehydrator Project

After much research Mike decided to recruit his father and his woodworking shop to recreate a solar dehydrator he had seen online.  We decided to try drying some of our produce this year in the hopes to help cut down and waste and also to start making homemade products such as dried herb packets and dehydrated fruits!

This was the model that he chose to follow...



Thanks to his dad's hardwork, they came and delivered our solar dehydrator last weekened...a perfect weekend to test it out as it was almost 60 degrees on Saturday.  Good news is they clocked the dehydrator at about 120 degrees, bad news is apparently the apple slices looked too appealing and didn't make it to their photo shoot!  We'll have to try again so I can take some before and after pictures.  More to come!
