I started dehydrating just this past year and have fallen in LOVE with it. I do herbs for my herbal tea drinks, jerky and one day I hope to make some fruit chews- not the leather like fruit roll-ups.. but tangerine and clementine candy like chews.

Those candy chews sound delicious! I will have to try that, but it sounds like you do a little bit of everything. We have been thinking about drying, or even canning our meat recently, because right know we just freeze it and it seems we never have enough space. As for the herbal teas, I am hoping to do some of that next year as well because we are wanting to be come as independent as possible from grocery stores and grow things our self. Sometimes, with all the different things going on, I am not sure we will get to do all of it next year, but we are going to try our best!
In regards to the herbal teas, I have a variety of herbs I use. From lemon balm, catnip, marjoram, mint, chamomile and feverfew- just to name a few. I'm sure I'll be adding more.I find such relief in some of my concoctions for stomach ailments, stress and anti-inflammatory.
