The Root Cellar

{via Mary Jane's Farm}

I have grown up my whole life knowing that I should have a year's supply of food because that's what my church encourages. But I like to eat naturally and for years the basics of food storage stumped me on how to store natural foods. I just kept envisioning shelves lined with green jello and processed junk which I knew I didn't want.

So about four years ago I ran across Root Cellaring and a lightbulb went off! I didn't realize you could store fresh food this way. I mean, it made sense, how else did people eat for centuries during the long hard winter months? I just never thought about it before!

You can store whole grains, beans, rice and even fresh vegetables in a root cellar and eat a natural healthy diet! It is soo cool!
