Harvest Right

What Harvest Right does

Harvest Right, LLC is a privately held, Salt Lake City-based company that designs and sells freeze-drying equipment across four end markets: home, commercial, pharmaceutical, and scientific. The company positions itself as the original innovator of home freeze-drying technology and sells a tiered product family — Home Pro (Small through X-Large, multiple color options), the HRC100 Pro Commercial unit, the Pharmaceutical Pro, and the Scientific Pro — underpinned by its patented Smart Freeze technology and increasingly connected via Wi-Fi and a mobile app with ongoing firmware versioning (V5.5.x in 2024, V6 in 2025).\n\nThe business model is primarily direct-to-consumer e-commerce, augmented by an ambassador/affiliate program, dealer network, and a dedicated international sales channel. Revenue mechanics mix higher-ASP hardware (commercial unit at ~$13,895, pharmaceutical/scientific units at $2,495-$3,395, home units typically $2,495 with promotional pricing $1,595-$3,195) with recurring accessory and consumable purchases tied to a proprietary hardware ecosystem. The company is founder-operated, has not disclosed external funding rounds, and reports a customer base described as "hundreds of thousands," indicating a sizeable but undisclosed scale.
