<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19231/20120201/heard-up-north-more-than-roots-in-this-cellar</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 1, 2012) Root cellars were an essential part of nearly every home a hundred years ago. And along with an increase in the number of people growing their own food is the return to the root cellar. More than a basement, it&apos;s the cousin to canning and freezing and another way of preserving the harvest into the winter months. A couple of winters ago, Todd Moe visited Winnie and Rob Sachno&apos;s root cellar on their St. Lawrence County farm for a closer look at a simpler way of storing food.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17313/20110316/heard-up-north-getting-serious-about-maple-syrup</link>

He sent this Heard Up North.
