We are delighted at our newest piece of equipment: a barrel root washer! Just in time for cold weather, we've got it put together. It makes quick work of washing veggies like turnips, carrots, even potatoes. In the end it will save time, water, and (more importantly) our FINGERS while washing up prior to those cold winter markets. It's like magic: roots go in dirty and come out sparkly-clean and ready for cold-storage in the root cellar. Here is Bridget inspecting the first run of scarlet turnips in the washer (note dry, toasty-warm fingers!)

wow, that is really cool! Is it just the tumbling and the water that makes things clean?
Yep. It's pretty simple (I even did the plumbing myself.) One of those really simple things that make a HUGE difference.
