We've been working long hours and getting creative with our storage space to harvest the remainder of our crops before temps take a sharp turn into the single digits tonight. Even our hardiest crops won't survive this deep freeze. We've packed our root cellar with thousands of pounds of carrots and potatoes, our main cooler with beets, radishes, turnips, rosemary, leeks, kohlrabi, cabbage, and more carrots. Our barn is full with crates of squash, onions, and garlic. And we've been making sauerkraut and kimchi as fast as we can, so we can safely store the most beautiful cabbage crop we've ever grown. It looks as though we'll eat well this winter, and we're happy to share this bounty with you!
