Canning, Cooking and Harvesting | A Day at the Cabin

We bring you along for a day of activities around the cabin.

Now that summer is here our beehives are rapidly multiplying and the garden is beginning to take off under the midnight sun. The season is brief so we attempt to take advantage of every day by harvesting and preserving food for the winter months.
