Industrial freeze drying for brands that outgrew the countertop.
We run raw protein through commercial chambers in St. Catharines — toll processing for makers who need volume, full co-packing for brands who want it handled end to end. No fruit, no vegetables, no flavour transfer. Protein only.
- 20–24 hrs
- Cycle time on industrial equipment, against 36–48 on countertop units.
- Every batch
- Water activity tested on an industrial meter before anything leaves.
- 3–5 days
- Standard turnaround. Scheduled weekly slots can run in 48 hours.
- Protein only
- Dedicated cycles. Fish and tripe never share a chamber with your product.
Four ways brands work with us
Most makers arrive when a wall of home units stops keeping up. You can hand us as much or as little of the process as you want.
Contract freeze drying
Your overflow factory. You wash, slice and prep; we run it through our chambers and hand it back dried and tested. The fastest way to add capacity without buying equipment.

Co-packing and private label
Hands off from raw material to sealed retail bag. We source, slice, dry, nitrogen flush and heat seal into your packaging. You get finished cases; we handle the rest.

Raw protein handling
Hearts, livers, necks, feet, whole fish. Our facility is set up for high-risk ingredients, with sanitation between every cycle and no plant matter on site to cross-contaminate.

Labels and launch support
Making it is half the job. We do compliant label design, Shopify builds and Amazon FBA launches for brands that want the product on a shelf rather than in a bucket.
