Sustainable Alaska by Common Ground Alaska Farmstead

Tale of an Alaskan Root Cellar


Listen Later

Having a root cellar is like the holy grail of homesteading. We all want one but few of us have actually figured out how to build it where we are at.

If you need inspiration, wisdom, or even encouragement to think outside the box to get a root cellar at your Alaska homestead, then you definitely want to tune in to this interview with Andria Bond.
Their journey to a root cellar certainly wasn't conventional (heck, it's partially above ground!) but it WORKS!
If you want to learn more about root cellars, here are a few books we have enjoyed as we are learning more and planning our own root cellar:
Root Cellaring: Natural Cold Storage for Fruits and Vegetables https://amzn.to/3GCKzJ5
Build your own Underground Root Cellar https://amzn.to/3mxdO9E
The Joy of Keeping a Root Cellar: Canning, Freezing, Drying, Smoking, and Preserving the Harvest https://amzn.to/3MMtFfj
The Complete Guide to your New Root Cellar https://amzn.to/41oA1p9
Andria owns Arctic Apothecary - what a tremendous resource that is! Be sure to check it out!

Also, Andria runs a super informative Facebook group called Roots & Shoots Gardening group. She's based in the interior but I've learned many things that are applicable to us in South Central, too. Just say you heard about it here and she will gladly approve you!
Enjoy the show!
