We got about 300 lbs of food for $30 at the farmers market. There was so much food that we filled the trunk of our car.
We got different kinds of squash and many pounds of potatoes.
The squash went into the freezer for long term storage. When we pull some out, it turns out pretty good. We froze them whole with the skin on. We will have enough squash for the entire year. And we really love squash in this house.
We buried the potatoes under a few feet of sand out by the garden. This will keep them fresh and prevent them from freezing during the winter months. Sand is the perfect storage medium for potatoes. It holds the moisture level and temperature right for long term storage.
I injured my knee and am not going to be able to work on the homestead much for a few weeks. This is very bad for a homesteader to be disabled since there is always so much going on.
And this is when I created my new steemit account. I am catching you up on the videos since we moved to the homestead in the spring. This gives you the background story. When I have you caught up, I will continue to share videos and articles as we make them on our off grid homestead each day.
