We’re thrilled to highlight one of our longtime affiliate partners, Heidi from Rain Country Homestead, a trusted voice in the homesteading and preparedness community. Through her popular YouTube channel, Heidi offers tips on self-sufficiency, food preservation, thrifty living, and building a more sustainable lifestyle.
In her recent video, Heidi shares an in-depth look at her latest Mother Earth Products haul — offering honest insights into her favorite freeze-dried and dehydrated foods and how she stores them for long-term use.
Why Heidi Recommends Mother Earth Products
Heidi’s been ordering from us for a while, and here’s why she keeps coming back:
-
✅ Flexible Sizing: Unlike other brands, we don’t require a big commitment to a #10 can. Heidi loves that you can start with sample-size mylar bags and work up to larger 1- to 5-pound bulk bags once you know what you love.
-
✅ Better Prices: Ordering directly through our website means you save more—especially with mylar bags, which are more compact and cost-effective than plastic containers.
-
✅ Top Shelf Quality: Heidi has tried many brands, but our dehydrated onions, garlic, carrots, and freeze-dried fruits like raspberries, cherries, and pineapple are her go-tos. She swears by our sliced garlic and carrots — even her dogs love them straight from the bag!
Bulk Buying = Long-Term Savings
Heidi explains how buying in bulk (like her 5-pound bag of dehydrated onions) saves significant money over time. These staples are perfect for:
-
Soups and stews
-
Kefir and fermented sodas
-
Homemade mixes and seasoning blends
When it comes to food storage, Heidi uses vacuum-sealing to extend the shelf life even further. She shares how she stores bulk items in quart or gallon-size jars using a brake bleeder and vacuum-sealing lids — a clever, non-electric method that keeps ingredients fresh for years.
Real-Life Pantry Tips
Even though Heidi grows a lot of her own produce, she values the convenience and reliability of having shelf-stable foods like ours on hand. She recommends saving homegrown food for fresh use and using Mother Earth Products for long-term storage. Her favorites include:
-
Freeze-dried cherries for natural sodas and kefir
-
Dehydrated garlic and onions for everyday cooking
-
Carrots that are so crisp and sweet, even her dogs snack on them
-
Raspberries and pineapple for sweet treats like her homemade chocolate raspberry cream
“Honeyville used to be my go-to… but since finding Mother Earth Products, this is the place I choose. The quality, variety, and storage flexibility are just better.” – Heidi, Rain Country Homestead
