We started as a small, family-farm growing winter veggies for Alaska's interior. We've recently begun a collaboration with commercial fishing friends in Cordova, Alaska, to offer sustainably-caught, Alaskan seafood in addition to Alaska-grown veggies to Fairbanks and beyond.
First at Root Cellar Farm in Michigan and later while building Offbeet Farm, Sam noticed there weren't many resources for small farmers learning to store vegetable through winter. Most of the information out there was aimed at homesteaders and gardeners using old traditional methods. Sam set out to create a guide for commercial growers meeting today's high standards for vegetable quality deep into winter. In the process though, Sam realized that modern techniques of climate controlled storage weren't just for industrial mega-farms; everyone from the backyard gardener to farmers with acres of fields can benefit from learning these proven methods of food storage.
