And many amazing sets on traditional French animal husbandry and food storage.
Check it out and soak up a little French warmth while we're waiting for the snow to melt here in Michigan.
I've been following this project for a few years now on Flickr and it's amazing what Irene and Fabrice have accomplished, I'm constantly blown away by both the beauty and productivity of their site and systems. Homesteading with an old-world continental flavor. Thanks for sharing their work, it deserves to be seen by a wide audience!
