I have, but if possible I would like to build a natural system that
does not require energy. They had to store food here before
electricity, all I need to find out is how.
Bright Blessings,

Have you considered gas fired refrigerators?
Hi Kim,
In Dixie, food was typically preserved by canning, pickling, salt
and/or nitrate curing, smoking, and also as sugared preserves, like
jams and marmalades.
Much else was consumed fresh, usually from local sources. Food choices
were a seasonal kind of thing, with lots of vegetables and then fruit
in spring, summer, and fall, mostly grains and meat in winter. Barnyard
fowl would be eaten year-round from home stock, fish from local waters.
Native Americans and African Americans used cucurbitacae and yams,
which keep well in warm and humid climates.
If you'd like a root cellar, the suggestions made are good. Insulate
very well, use an absorption cooling system, power it with the sun or
with an existing waste heat source or with biomass.
Plant trees. Help drop that water table. I've had some really sweet
summer afternoons in south Texas under big trees. Walk out into the sun
and you'd feel like keeling over right away.
