I have a home food dryer. I use it a lot esp with mushrooms and other veggies and herbs.
What worries me are the berries going bad. I guess you can freeze them, but if I dry them, and then vacuum seal them in reusable pouches, I can use them for tea.
I bought both, so I’ll try it out.
I buy green coffee beans. Have been doing it for years. The beans keep along time where as roasted beans only keep a few days after you open the package, and only a day once you grind them.
I think the same thing with the berries. If I dry them, I can store them a long time and buy in bulk.

Juniper berries don’t “go bad,” they just get too dry to be of any value if not stored in a hermetically sealed container.
Once they’re dry, they are dead.
