About Base Camp Treats

In 2021 our household lost an income, I gave birth to our third baby and our home was damaged by hurricane force winds. On top of that, I was swimming in deep waters of postpartum depression and anxiety and were struggling to make it to Christmas financially. I was coping with freeze drying in my basement kitchen, thinking, at least we'll have food. We hit a breaking point and wanted to do something to get our family out of this thick mess. One day my husband showed me a video of freeze dried candy, I thought it was so silly but we gave it a try! We had a camping trip planned that weekend so I took our treats with us and as we were on the trail: I noticed how easy it was to pack and how the treats didn't melt or get sticky so my mind opened to the possibilities! I started to take our treats to family gatherings, shared them with friends, and made neighbor gifts. The feedback was incredible! fi never forget the moment when I saw the faces in aww, smiling, laughing and the organic way my treats brought people together. How rare a moment that was; to watch people try something new for the first time gathered together. This, this right here sparked joy in me! I felt the spirit tell me, "This is how you serve, heres a gift, use it!" The blessings poured in from there! We grew fast! I was finding myself coming out of the depths of PPD and finding purpose again.I saw God's hand in it all, every detail. I see how my treats are the TOOL to bring joy into peoples lives and to serve.Read their story
