Thanks for the chance! I hope that I win 🙂
Diane says
I have a very small inadequate dehydrator and this one looks like exactly what I want
Sherri Freeman says
I’ve been looking at this dehydrator for a while. I sold one (not this nice tho’) at a yard sale before I became a real foodie…ah regrets!
April says
I went to a dehydration course and she used these, (great item) and ever since I’ve kicked myself for not buying one, so maybe I could win one!
Sandy says
thank you for a chance to win….I have always wanted that particular dehydrator!!! it’s the best….
j.d. says
ooooh. to me this is like a ticket to candy. other people crave sweets and junk, i dream of dehydrating everything!
Alice Kaspar says
I hope I win. 🙂 This dehydrator would be great for some friends of mine with three children! If I win, it’s going to them.
Terri says
Ah … you finally sucked me into Pinterest … I really want this dehydrator! 😀
Deb says
Looks like a wonderful dehydrator!
amy says
I’m hoping to win this for my friend…she could benefit so greatly from this as she has just recently switched to real food as she tries to tackle her current health concerns. Thank you for this opportunity…and for your wonderful blog!
Trina Visser says
Yay. Thanks for this give away! Can’t wait to see who wins
Corinne says
Would love to win this for my DIL and grandchildren! Thank you for the opportunity.
Jen in Oz says
Is this only open to a certain country? I am in Australia and have drooled over one of those dehydrators for over 15 years. Now I have 4 children I would really find it useful.
Kristen says
Hi Jen! The fine print (found inside the Raffelcopter widget) says that winners outside the U.S. will get an Amazon gift card equal to what the prize is selling for on Amazon. If your country has a local Amazon (i.e. AmazonUK), I’ll buy the gift card from there. If not, I’ll buy the Amazon.com gift card. Amazon.com does ship a lot of inventory overseas, but it varies from product to product. So, I use the gift cards as a solution to what would otherwise be weird shipping hassles.
Wendy Coffman says

Twyla says
I just found your site through a friend of mine… I’m exploring ways to eat healthier, and eliminate as much “junk” from our diets as possible. I have a toddler who loves dehydrated veggies but won’t eat any regular ones =.= I would be THRILLED to have something like this to use so I don’t have to spend the $8 per package of dehydrated veggies that I have been spending at the store each week. This would make life with my toddler soooo much easier.
Carol Ann says
It’s one of those things I’d love to have and would make good use of but money is tight, will be a long time before I could buy one!
jude says
Woot!

I have enjoyed all your facebook posts and the time you take to help us enjoy life and be healthier.
thank you so much for all that you do!

Robert Audet says
Just found your site from a search for sauerkraut and other fermented food recipes. I have read Lea’s Sauerkraut survivor journey, though in not as much detail as I think would benefit me now as I’m starting my own ferments…
The link to win the Excalibur dehydrator is right up my alley – have been borrowing a friend’s dehydrator for nuts and other garden veggies for a couple of years and see that the timing is perfect for my own.
Thanks for the great website and helpful perspectives.
Food renegade! Love the name!
dan says
In this crazy socio-political climate where words and intention are often designed to mislead and confuse, it is important to become more aware of the possibilities that come with taking greater control of your physical and spiritual landscape. A good food dehydrator is a good step in that direction. Good one, Kristen.
Aimee says
Thanks so much for this wonderful giveaway! I’ve been wanting one of these for some time now!
Charlotte says
Oh I really hope I win this!
I want to make fruit roll ups and jerky and I want a yogurt maker too but if I win this dehydrator it’s big enough that I won’t need a separate one. :O
Hooray for more counter space!!
Shar Sanders says
What a great contests!! Thanks for sharing it with your readers. Would love to be able to dehydrate items.
Cindy says
Crossing my fingers!
Finondra says

Amy says
I could so use this! The dried fruit snacks took forever in the oven.. not looking forward to drying anything that way again :/

Kathy Horn says
I would love to win this dehydrator! We still help out our adult children with food stuffs in these hard economic times and to be able to dehydrate for them (and us) would be so great! Kathy
Danielle @ Poor and Gluten Free says
Thanks so much for the chance to win one of these! I have an ancient, cheap-o dehydrator that I don’t use anymore because it lets off heat and is noisy, I’m sure I’d dehydrate more if I actually had a decent dehydrator 🙂
Dena Montgomery says

Sold my old dehydrator at a yard sale 15+ years ago. Way before I cared about what I was eating. It’s be so great to have one back in my life again.
Cyndy Whitaker says

Marcella says
Wow! What a great prize! I have been looking at this dehydrator for 3 years now but haven’t been able to afford it. I dry jerky and other things in my gas oven right now and it’s a pain. Good luck to everyone and whoever wins, Good on you!
Kathleen says
Wahoo! What an amazing giveaway. I’m sure whoever wins this will be ever grateful. Thanks for the chance 🙂
Bethany says
Thank you for funding these giveaways. I’m just starting my journey and you have really helped. So thanks for that, too!
Sharon McMahan says
Wow, this is great! Thanks for the chance to win a wonderful product. I have a special needs grand-daughter (rare chromosome micro-deletion) that we are trying to help with a healthier diet. This would be such a blessing. Even if I don’t win, I will save up to buy one.

Thanks for this giveaway. I have been wanting a dehydrator for a while. I would love to make crackers, fruit chips, snacks, and more. I love this dehydrator.
Sherry says
OMG that is soooo cool. Crossing my fingers!
Mari says
Hoping this might break my “losing streak” on all the various giveaways I’ve been entering 🙂 I’m a newbie in the real-food arena and have already pretty much broken the bank. Have been watching for a secondhand dehydrator but it seems like everyone else wants one too! My rental-apartment oven runs way too hot so “dehydrating” has been a series of disasters that would be funny if food weren’t so expensive. No crispy nuts for me. 🙁
Missie says
Thanks for hosting giveaways. Awesome knowledge and advice that keeps giving and changes how families eat! LOVE IT!
veronica says
would love to win one of these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tara tamayo says
Great website! I’m a sahm and would love a way to make healthy snacks on the go for my family. Hoping I win this!
Patricia says
Thank you for being such a great advocate for great, healthy food and getting the word out about real food!
Lin says
Snacks for later would be superb, if they last that long in our house. Thanks
Camilla says
YES PLEASE!!! I have a cheapo little dehydrator that just isn’t up to scratch, an Excalibur is just not in my budget, thank you for the chance!
angie says
oooooh…this is a great give-away! i’ve been wanting a dyhydrator!!!! thanks for your generosity!

Brenda Kaschner says
Yay! That would be GREEEAT!
Celica says
I so need this!!! Thank you!
Handful says
Stumbled across this post when a friend suggested your Jalapeno Poppers with Serrano Sour Cream Dip to me. Interesting to use whipped whites for the batter. So glad I found this site as we are about 80% whole foods at our home. Lots of gardening and preserving here and butchering our own meat as we are able.
Love, love, LOVE the Excalibur. I have an entire Pinterest board devoted to dehydrating.
Min says
Thanks for the opportunity.
Fingers are crossed.
🙂
Terra D. says
This is a great giveaway. I would love to win 🙂
Iulia B. Ghiran-Ardelean says
Would loooove to win this! My husband and I have been dreaming of a food dehydrator for a while now!
maryhysong says
I have wanted an Excaliber for years and years! I just haven’t made it a priority buy, to win one would be sooo awesome! In the meantime I borrow a different brand from my mom and make all kinds of things from dried fruit to jerky!
Rinn says
Oooh, so glad I came across this, today. Would honestly be a bit of a dream come true, winning one of these — due to my daughter and husband being on the Autism spectrum, we’ve been having to do a lot of modifications to our diet. But, living on a very strict fixed income, a decent dehydrator has always been pretty much out of the question :'(
Here’s to hoping this one’s in the cards, for us ^_^
Kelly says
Awesome giveaway!
Christie B says
This is a fabulous product. I would like to dehydrate spices and veggies and make fruit leathers with the Excalibur.
sandra says
I hope I did all that right?! Did I see Georgetown, TX?! You can save the mailing costs, choose me and I will pick it up!! Hooray…sounds good, right? 🙂
V says
i’ve been dreaming of a dehydrator and drooling over all the cool stuff i could make for ages. fingers crossed!

jennifer hall says
Thanks for the chance to win this awesome 9-Tray Excalibur Dehydrator. I would be a great addition to kitchen.
Kam says
I have just started to turn my life around by eating things as close to nature as possible. It is very interesting to me and I am excited. Using a dehydrator makes sense and if I don’t win this one, I will be getting one for myself soon! Glad to be a part of your website.
Karen M. says
Thanks for offering this! Crossing my fingers!
Katherine says

Maria E Martinez says
Oh, I will love to win this dehydrator. I grow a lot of vegetables, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, etc. I have to canned them because there are more than I can eat… but that gardening is a hobby that I refuse to give up even with my disability, but canning take a toll on my leg for been standing so long. This dehydrator will be a blessing beside the space saver once the food is done. Thank you for the opportunity
Vickie says
Yeah Food Renegade! Yeah Excalibur!
nurturechef says
Thanx for the chance – very generous of you!! I’ve never used a dehydrator before – never say never. I specialize in Holistic Rejuvination and I just want you to know what a great job you are doing…keep up the great work. Love your web site.
~Joyce
Trudy says
Thank you for offering this!
Liz says
Thanks for the opportunity to win, Kristen! Love your site and from the reviews, this powerhouse of a dehydrator looks great. Not having to turn on the oven (even on low) in the Texas summer to make kale chips or jerky would be AWESOME! Keep up the stellar work, lady!
Beverly Linton says
I was just telling my husband how much I want one! We live in a dinky RV and rely on bottled propane for cooking so I either can use propane (expensive) or the sun. It would be so much more convenient and less expensive with a real dehydrator. I hope you pick me! Thanks!
Lori Scott says
So ready for this Fall and Winter and I’ve never had a dehydrator. This would come in so handy and I thank you for this opportunity!
Amanda says
Oh gosh!
My real food cooking wishlist is getting pricey. I’m afraid to even add it all up! I want a $500 blender, a $35 slicer, $40 slow cooker, $200 dehydrator, various silicone tools, and all that on top of the already higher cost of organic and grass-fed. I need a 2nd job!
The dehydrator isn’t high enough on the list to be acquired any time soon…unless I can win it! That would be soo cool! I haven’t won anything since a church event doorprize 8 years ago!
Taya says
This is definitely on my wish list! Can’t wait to start making snacks and so much more with this beautiful machine! Thanks:)
Riki Juster says
The oven that came with my rented apartment doesn’t go lower than 230F, which is why I really could use this for making crispy nuts, jerky and dried everything else! Thank you!
Sheila Daniel says
Thx! I’ve never tried dehydrating food. I’ve read about the health benefits and anticipate all the tasty foods to come.
Tonya says
8 children and we sure could use this for our garden goodies, and beef! LOL
Alexandra says
I would be so so so delighted if i were to win this amazing machine! Vegetable patties, bread and fruit bars is on my list and I am sure I will use it daily!
Amy says
Awesome site. I’d love one of these!

I would love to win this. I just got a small inexpensive one to start with. I love doing all types of fruit. I will keep my fingers crossed that you PICK ME. 🙂
Brenda says
Was saving up for one of these and was nearly there but then my stand mixer broke. I would love to give this prize a happy home!

Never dehydrated anything, but I’ve thought about it in the past and it is a very good idea. So pick me!!!
Rebeca says

Montie says
I had a dehydrator years ago but didn’t use it much. Now we are trying to eat healthier and one of my daughters just informed me that her and her husband were very happy to inform us that they are expecting child #6. I believe this will help all of us to learn better food habits. I appreciate the opportunity to get one of these. Very nice of you no matter who receives it.
BlueberryChaser says
Would be a dream come true to own this fab machine. Good luck everyone!!
Kristen says
I had one of these! In fact, I grew up with it. We had it, and used it a lot until our home burned in one of the Colorado forest fires. My kids loved when I made fruit leather! I loved drying all sorts of things for snacks and for storage. Thanks for the great website, and a chance to win a new Excalibur Dehydrator!
Jenn Crawford says
Thank you for giving people a chance to win this! I have been checking these out for a while but right now it is out of our price range. Love the fact that you can set different temps.
