Imagine being able to enjoy fresh, organic produce year-round. Now imagine the same without having to pay outrageous off-season grocery store or farmer’s market prices. What you have just imagined is called a “root cellar.” The root cellar is increasingly becoming a fixture for both city and country people who don’t want to spend too much electricity on a fridge. It doesn’t require much space or any significant cost investment to create a root cellar that can serve your family’s health and wellness goals all year long.

In this post, learn about the primary things to consider as you are building your own root cellar.
