Okay, for that context, there is a different option. Some places have community kitchens for folks who like to cook but have only a tiny space at home. Some apartment buildings have one, some community centers do, and they can even be freestanding for a cooking club or community classes. A place like that could buy a freeze-dryer for members to share. Kinda like they do with a glass forge or ceramics kiln that most people don't have room for at home and couldn't afford. If there isn't one already, you could ask around to see if anyone else shares your interest and team up to create one.
