Looking forward to September 1st! I’ve never owned a dehydrator, and I am currently taking my Herb 101 class through ACHS.edu for my degree in Complementary and Alternative Medicine, so while I am growing my own herbs, I’d love the opportunity to dry and save them in half the time. Not to mention the fruit leather I could make for the kids!
Thanks for this opportunity!
