Meet Our Team
Kelly & Will
Will and Kelly are happily married and recently retired-living on their homestead they have worked towards their whole life! Truly their “happily ever after!”
They are having a blast exploring/experimenting by getting creative with new ways and products to freeze dry!
When asked what their favorite freeze dried candy is, Will and Kelly have a hard time deciding which product is because as soon as they create a new product (sweet or savory), it becomes their NEW favorite!
We hope you will enjoy these treats as much as Will and Kelly enjoy making/sampling them!

More About Poppy's Sweet & Savory
Will recently retired from a successful 35 year career in food safety with the United States Department of Agriculture which makes his professional success now a passionate hobby. Kelly spent her career as the Practice Administrator for an amazing Dental Office which gave her the opportunity to share her leadership and her passion for people all in one place. Together, Will and Kelly have the uncanny ability to make friends EVERYWHERE they go!
Together they have 5 grown children and now those five children have added 10 children of their own making them pretty cool grandparents! To describe Will and Kelly having an unwavering devotion for their kids and grandkids is an understatement! Go ahead, ask about them and see how their eyes light up!
‘Poppy’ is what Will affectionately called his dad, so it's very special, in fact SO special that all the grandkids call Will their ‘Poppy.’ Grandma and Poppy thought they would freeze dry the abundance of their garden fruits and vegetables for family and friends (perhaps many friends they haven’t even met yet), and as they shared this vision with family, someone brought up freeze drying “other” products as well and their “sweet” and “savory” business started from there!
