Released November 26, 2024
As described in the show notes: “Sam has practiced “storage farming” for years, growing during the summer for off-season sales from stored crops deep into the winter. In this interview, he tells us about how he figured out his own best practices along the way, as there was little available information on modern vegetable storage techniques that would keep produce in top shape over an extended period of time.
The product of all this learning is Sam’s brand-new book, Beyond the Root Cellar. It covers every aspect of storage farming, from which crops to grow for storage, to how to grow and harvest them, and finally, to what kind of a structure to build for long-term storage and the conditions that will keep vegetables fresh for as long as possible.”
