This week we take a look at what and why we dehydrated this summer. This continues a long series of looking an at putting food up for winter by dehydration. Lot’s of people freeze their food, some can, but we like to dehydrate a lot of stuff. It uses less room, doesn’t need power, and it’s easy.

• Ellen calls the farm phone line with an on the spot report
• Fall is here
