Welcome to Howell’s Harvests
Homemade and Freeze-Dried Foods!
We're passionate about creating high-quality, homemade food that’s as delicious as it is convenient. Our specialty lies in taking traditional favorites—like cheesecakes, breads, soups, and candies—and transforming them into shelf-stable, freeze-dried treats that retain all the taste and texture of homemade. We believe food should be wholesome, flavorful, and there when you need it, which is why we also offer special orders and a calendar of events to bring our flavors directly to your gatherings. Discover how Howell’s Harvests can make your everyday meals and special occasions unforgettable!

Howell’s Harvests began
With A Shared Vision Between
Donald Howell and Jeanine Piatz, both dedicated school teachers with a love for quality, homemade food. Jeanine, a science teacher with a passion for hands-on learning, found freeze-drying to be the perfect blend of science and creativity. She loves sharing the fascinating process with customers, educating them about how freeze-drying preserves flavor and nutrition. From farmers markets to the Madison County Covered Bridge Festival, we’ve enjoyed connecting with our community and sharing our homemade, freeze-dried creations. Howell's Harvests bring delicious and lasting food options to kitchens near and far.
