The cooler you keep your fruits and veggies the longer they will last and we use a good sized refrigerated cooler box like the ones you see in a smaller restaurant to keep are jars, fresh fruit and veggies in good shape.
Now some may think that the cost of running the cooler would be cost prohibited and it does cost about $100.00 a month in the summer but we can counter the cost by the savings in food we produce and store inside it. At 7WX9Lx8H its a decent size but if I had to do over again I would have gone bigger as it not to hard to fill on a decent season.
We are all inclined to judge ourselves by our ideals; others, by their acts.
