Harvest Preservation & Storage
Securing the yield for the hungry months. Growing the food is only half the battle; this pillar focuses on the technical methods of curing, drying, and fermenting to ensure zero waste at the Evergreen Hideout.
The Preservation Philosophy
In a high-yield garden, everything often ripens at once. Without a preservation strategy, your Vegetable Mastery efforts go to waste. We prioritize low-energy methods like solar drying and fermentation to keep the Hideout sustainable.
