| I haven't been scammed into a workshop yet but I throw my friend a bone every once in awhile and order something. Every spice mix I've tried is awful and the Bloody Mary mix was completely gross. I don't know how she makes any money because her friends are pretty much done |

I went to a freezer meal workshop last year. I was highly disappointed with the results. We ended up eating maybe 3 bags and tossed the rest. However, I have friends who really enjoyed it. I think it really comes down to your experience/skills in the kitchen. If you are already a decent cook, I would not recommend wildtree. If you are not and want to start preparing more home cooked meals for your family, then maybe wildtree is a good place to start. A lot of the spice mixes give you a shortcut to cooking & flavoring.

| I'm not a Wildtree Rep, but i have been a customer for years. I have never been to a freezer meal workshop, so I can't really comment on that, but I do really love the products, way more than any seasoning or mixer I've ever tried from a store. As far as easy cooking, the skillet meals are awesome. Add a couple ingredients and cook, and you have a decent sized meal for a small family. I'm also a big fan of the baked goods mixes. Before having my son, I was a preschool teacher, and if I wanted to bake anything for my class it had to be peanut, tree nut, allergen free, and Wildtree was really the only brand I found that could guarantee that. Yes, the spices are higher priced than what you'd find in a supermarket, but many of the ingredients are organic, and you won't find any fillers, or preservatives. That was big for me. I'm willing to pay extra for clean ingredients. It's definitely not a scam though. I've never been pressured to buy anything I didn't want to to sign up. |

| You can make your own taco mix and rubs for a fraction of the cost in under an hour. These meals taste bland because they are developed for ghe average family with average spice tolerance, same problem with generalized cookbooks. |

I am totally new to the Wild tree foods. My daughter went to a party, then decided to do a party in her home. I have a picky diabetic husband, a picky son that likes high carb foods. What I found with Wild tree is that the use of their products took a lot of prep work. Since I am a lazy cook at the end of the day the prep work I found way too time consuming for me. Afterwards, I can't say enough about the simplicity of pulling that meal out of the freezer. Totally satisfied with the marinating process while it defrosts.
All the vegetables they call for season and flavor the foods in a way I would not have thought about. I like the fact it is Gluten-free, no MSG and allows me to add salt as needed. Everything is produced in a peanut free facility which means my grandson has a free ticket at my table. My husband grudgingly agreed to try the meals, monetary loss if we didn't like it. Take it across the street to my daughter, live and learn I figured. I should mention he hates vegetables. The portions are accurate as we have no leftovers at the end of the meal. During cooking you walk into an amazing house. They follow their nose into the kitchen and say....what is tonight! My son usually asks what tomorrows dinner is while he is finishing tonight's. I don't make every night a Wild Tree night, but it is totally loved when I do. That is the emotional part of the product. I can team up with good quality meats, no chemicals in my spices, no dyes and extra chemicals in my sauces. I like purchasing the oils in bulk size when it is on sale, perfect for dipping oils, cooking and honestly my food tastes better with their oils. Yes it does cost me more at times. I can purchase spices and sauces at the store, I just prefer the quality with Wild tree. I certainly don't consider it a scam. Just a choice. Like making the move from regular milk to organic....a choice. Costly choice. Gina Lyons |

| Wow, lots of Wildtree reps finding their way here through Google, I guess. |

| If you mean me, the review before your comment. I'm not a rep. I just researched the product well, purchased a meal plan, went to a party and took the time really try it out. If not me...I don't know about reps. |

| I went to a workshop last week. I was completely exhausted after prepping meat and veggies for 2 hours. We've only tried 3 of the meals so far. 2 of the cooking instructions were wildly off...completely overlooking my fish and undercooking the bone in chicken. My lesson is to adjust cooking times based on what I know is proper. Anyway, I am having a difficult time with the coconut oil, which went into every single bag as a clump. Once refrigerated, those clumps turn into super hard balls of oil that you can not massage onto the meat or combine in any way. Does anyone know how the coconut oil was supposed to have been incorporated into the bags...maybe melted first? |

I'm not a rep. I'm a customer who has been doing the workshops for almost two years. I'm in a group of about five families who do workshops every couple of months. I don't think it's the cheapest way to make freezer meals but all of us have been happy with the products. One woman does two different workshops every time. I totally understand if people don't want to spend the money or don't like the time needed to prep but the hatred of the recipes here seems odd to me. I have been using freezer meals for over a decade to manage busy work and school schedules so the prep is second nature to me. Several of the families in my group travel a lot and enjoy ethnic food from diverse cultures, so they don't seem like people who don't know good food when they taste it. I've had really good home cooked meals in their homes so I know they can cook. I've only run across a couple workshop recipes that I thought were awful (I don't like the paleo ones much) and many were so good, they've permanently changed the way I make something because my old recipe was so-so...meatloaf and shredded BBQ chicken, for example. My mom is a bad cook and she was being really negative about Wildtree because it sounded like too much work and it was so expensive yadda yadda. I bought her the spaghetti blend to try because she uses a terrible foil packet mix that tastes like metal and has a weird color. She was kind of snotty about it until she tried it, then she was raving about how it was the best spaghetti she's made. I know food preferences are really personal. I think this is something you have to try to see if it works for your family. I'd suggest buying a small bundle or going to a tasting party if you are on the fence because obviously people's palates are different. That would let you try inexpensively. |

OMG, enough already. Nobody wants MLM food. Your pitch is over the top, just like all MLM nuts. I'd hate to see your FB page. |

I was a rep for 5 years with Wildtree. Hard to make money and because of new upper management, they have made it hard for me to continue selling WT products. Most of their products are good but crazy overpriced. You can go to Whole Foods or even Aldi's for organic foods. And for way less. By the time you pay 10% for shipping on everything you buy plus tax on the shipping, your final cost is very expensive.
New management is all about them and making them rich. I will never use their products again. We have so many other options for good quality organic food. Anyone can put food in a freezer bag with seasoning and spices. Not a brand new idea!!! |
