Who We Are


Hey there, welcome to my shop! Thanks for stopping by to learn a bit more about White Squirrel Snacks. I live very close to Olney, IL, dubbed 'Home of the White Squirrels', which endearingly sparked the unique name for my business!

This whole thing just kinda happened when the local CEO crew decided to sell their pre-loved freeze-dryer, and I'd never even tasted freeze dried sweets before! After a little digging and craving a new hobby, I jumped in, got that Cottage Food Operation Certificate and aced the Certified Food Protection Manager Exam, and voila!

Joining forces with my partner in crime, Big Mama Squirrel (the freeze dryer pictured above), I'm elated to revamp popular candies into larger, crispier, superior versions AND provide delicious shelf-stable choices of various fruits, no pesky fruit flies or bruises to worry about anymore!

All packages that I use are food-safe and tamper-evident sealed for ultimate freshness and safety.  Be sure to check out the "How does freeze-drying work?" page to learn more about this unique process (under construction currently).  

Thanks again for backing this tiny biz, and don't forget to holler with a review, give a thumbs up on Facebook, and spread the love with pals and fam!
