True Harvest is a small reference site about one narrow subject: keeping harvested vegetables through the off-season in a cold climate. It is written for home gardeners and small growers in Canada who have more produce in October than they can eat before it spoils, and who would rather understand the conditions behind good storage than follow a list of rules blindly.
What this site is
The material here is organised around measurable conditions — temperature, humidity, airflow, and crop maturity — rather than around brand-name equipment or seasonal trends. The aim is to explain why a method works so that it can be adapted to a basement corner, an unheated garage, or a buried barrel, depending on what a reader actually has.
Where the information comes from
The guidance reflects long-established horticultural practice and publicly available agricultural extension material. Where specific figures appear, they are general ranges widely published by extension services, not original research. We do not invent statistics, cite studies we have not read, or present folklore as fact. Where exact numbers are uncertain, the text uses plain language instead.
Not a substitute for food-safety guidance
Storage and preservation can carry real food-safety risks, particularly home canning of low-acid vegetables. For those decisions, consult recognised public sources such as Health Canada and the National Center for Home Food Preservation, which are linked throughout this site.
