Send an email to sam@rioscelestialalchemy.com with which products you would like and the quantity. I will reply and let you know my availability to deliver based on other orders and my work schedule.
At this time I can't offer shipping. We are a cottage food business so to comply with tx laws, we must deliver the product directly to you. I am based in conroe, tx and happy to deliver within 50 miles.
For freeze-dried products i estimate they will last several years unopened. They must be kept in a dark, cool place. The reason they do not last 10-30 years is due to the window packaging of the Mylar bags. the clear packaging always some moisture and light to infiltrate the package. it is a slow process but nonetheless does affect the shelf-stability over time. Once opened, the repeated opening of the zipper closure will allow some room air moisture to infiltrate the product. the only down-side of this is the product starts to lose it's crunch as it reabsorbs the moisture previously vacuum-pulled from it. You can put the product in a mason jar and vacuum seal to further ensure integrity of the product. Light also degrades freeze-dried food. so it is important to keep your freeze-dried foods in a dark pantry or cabinet. most freeze-dried products, if not stored in a vacuum seal, will begin to lose their crunch and appeal after a month.
for canned jams it is recommended to enjoy within 1-2 years for quality [flavor, color, texture] but properly canned products, with a vacuum seal intact, will last indefinitely. once opened, the product needs to be refrigerated and enjoyed over the course of a few months. always inspect your jam after opening and before eating.
Yes! I would love to create a themed gift basket for your event or gift. It would include your choice of several bags of freeze-dried products and jam flavors. Let me know the theme and i will also make sure it is event ready! pricing open for discussion based on quantity of product and inclusion of themed items.
Yes! I am happy to package any products you would like in a 7mil mylar bag with dessicant and oxygen absorber. This will ensure the product will last 10 + years. Just send me a request to sam@rioscelestialalchemy.com
