It can be a challenge to provide ideal storage conditions for each vegetable. If you are storing quantities, strive for the ideal, knowing that the vegetables will endure some variation in temperature and humidity; they just won’t store as long.

Carrots, Parsnips, Beets and Cabbage: Very Cold and Very Moist 35-40 degrees and 90-95% humidity

Potatoes: Cold and Very Moist 40 degrees and 90% humidity in complete darkness

Onions and Garlic: Cold and Dry 35-45 degrees and 60% humidity, dark

Squash: Cool and Dry-55-60 degrees and 60% humidity

Apples: Very Cold and Very Moist, 32 degrees and 90% humidity. Apples need their own room as they emit ethelyne gas that causes other vegetables to mature rapidly. Apples freeze at 28 degrees.

Our family farm is located in Cabot, Vermont. We currently specialize in certified organic winter storage vegetables, and lacto-fermented foods (kimchi and sauerkraut). We’re open for business every Saturday in the fall while supplies last. You can come shop at our farm store on Saturdays or visit us at The Montpelier Winter Farmers Market each first Saturday of the month, December through April.
