Fiasco Farms has different goals then I do, and I'm glad her techniques work for her. The plastic bags have 2 problems. They get expensive really quickly. For freezing things they work great, but for dehydration there's just too much to seal so it would get too expensive. And then it turns out that dehydrated food punctures the bag half the time. Cheers, -Andrew Hey Kirsten,

I actually live in a small town outside of Lafayette called Westpoint. Blink and you miss it, you know the kind. I was following the Fias Co Farm protocol for teat dip and had wndered how this would close the orifice, so thanks for clearing that up. I will check out what I can get locally. About the dehydrating---why seal into jars instead of sealing into the plastic sheets that come with the sealer. Wouldn't that take up less space? I am sure you two have a great reason. Farm phone rocks and have a great week! Kirsten Thanks for the great answers again!
