  • About

I Dug My Cellar in the Side of a Hill Sloping to the South, Where a Woodchuck had Formerly Dug his Burrow, Down Through Sumach and Blackberry Roots and the Lowest Stain Of Vegetation, Six Feet Square by Seven Deep, To a Fine Sand Where Potatoes Would Not Freeze in Any Winter… I Took Particular Pleasure in this Breaking of Ground.

—Henry David Thoreau, Walden, 1854

Fast-forward from Thoreau’s time to today and you will find a bumper crop of interest in the decidedly low-tech cold-storage system of root cellaring. Whatever the reason—rising food costs, food insecurity, concern over unsafe commercial production methods, living off the grid—root cellars are enjoying a twenty-first-century revival.
