Hi, I’m Alayna, the passionate mompreneur behind Crunchy Cravings! With three little ones keeping me on my toes, my love for home food preservation inspired me to dive into canning, dehydrating, and freeze drying. What began as a hobby blossomed into a business after my love for creating content showcased my innovative freeze-dried creations, like the famous Jolly Crunch—skittles coated in freeze-dried Jolly Ranchers. I faced some regulatory hurdles in Wisconsin, but I overcame them by securing a licensed commercial kitchen and passing state inspection to bring my products to market. Currently, I rent commercial kitchen space, but I’m excitedly exploring the possibility of converting a space of my own. Today, Crunchy Cravings offers a range of 27 products, from freeze-dried fruits to candies, with an exciting seasoning line on the way. Join me on this journey of turning crunchy cravings into delicious realities!
