Oh, Hey Yall!
Welcome to Chillified Co, a family-owned and operated business founded by Luke and Nicole Landaiche, along with their three vibrant and free-spirited girls, Addison, Elsie, and Selah. We're thrilled to have you join us on our flavorful journey!
Information
Why y'all? What makes y'all different?
The difference is offering the same items we would eat or drink in our family's home.
A sweet treat, a local fruit or vegetable, and a taste of home. We wouldn't sell something that we would not let our family consume.
Our goal is to collaborate with small businesses and local farmers so that everyone can enjoy eachothers hard work while having pride in our products.
We're a nothing added kind of family.
No additives, preservatives, or heavy amounts of sugar. Maybe some seasoning every now and then because that's what cajuns do.
What products do you sell?
We currently offer:
- An assortment of freeze dried candy
- Freeze dried local produce (when in season)
- Freeze dried Ice Cream (summer)
- Fresh Milled Flour by the pound
(Hard & Soft Wheat, Einkorn)
- Fresh Milled Flour Kits
Pancake Mix, Cookie Mix, Freeze Dried Fruit Muffin Mix, and Homemade Bread Mix
What "seasons" are fresh items offered?
While we love offering candy year round, everyone loves some fresh produce.
The garden is planted, the farmers have been contacted, and we are ready to start freeze drying produce mid summer when they're ripe!
Strawberries - Mid June
Blueberries - July
Apples - September/October
Bananas - Year Round
Corn - August
Ice Cream - Summer
We are in the works working with local businesses to sell our produce and candy in their stores so that they are more accessible!
Let us know if you're a business owner and would love to collaborate!
What is freeze drying?
Freeze drying, also known as lyophilization, is a process that involves removing the moisture from a product while preserving its structure, taste, and nutritional content. It is commonly used to extend the shelf life of various foods and other perishable items.
The key advantage of freeze drying lies in its ability to remove moisture without causing significant damage or alteration to the product's properties. Unlike traditional drying methods that use heat, freeze drying minimizes the loss of nutrients, flavors, and textures. The resulting freeze-dried product retains its original shape, size, and taste, while also having an extended shelf life.
Freeze-dried foods have gained popularity for their convenience, lightweight nature, and long-lasting quality. They offer a lightweight and portable alternative to fresh produce, making them suitable for outdoor adventures, emergency food supplies, and space travel. Additionally, freeze-dried foods can be easily rehydrated by adding water, restoring them to their original form and flavor.
