    We live in PA. As you mentioned ice ponds and icehouses used to be a big deal around these parts. The first time I was told you could keep ice for a whole year through the summer I couldn’t believe it. It’s amazing the skills and know how that’s been lost to technology these days!

    Wow! I was just reading about Thomas Jeffersons ice house at Monticello. It made me think about how that kind of tech never changes and can't really be improved upon and then I happened to pull up this video. LOL.

    • @Homesteadhow
      @Homesteadhow  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Awesome, its very interesting. It makes sense but was such a huge industry back then. I wonder if we'll look back at manual transportation 100 years from now as another extinct technology due driverless vehicles...in the same way the ice industry ended due to new tech

  • @Dafoodmaster
    @Dafoodmaster ปีที่แล้ว +2

    it's much more logical to harvest the ice that forms naturally in winter than to spend energy (potential heat) to make ice.
    such a convoluted process

    • @seanmce8132
      @seanmce8132 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah it's great if only a few people do it, once a population gets big enough it's not viable to do it without depleting the water source for surrounding farmland.

    Kerry - Question:
    Do your Amish neighbors have a hole drilled in the base of their chest freezer to drain the water, once the ice starts to melt? Or do they pump it out somehow with a battery powered sump pump?
    I enjoy your videoes and have admired the Amish for years! Their farms and lifestyle remind me of my grandparents’ farm when I was a kid.
    They too were homesteaders, in every sense of the word. My grandmother trader her eggs to a nearby country store for what little “groceries” she needed such as salt, flour, sugar, baking powder, and cooking oil. They raised all their own meat and vegetables.
    Gosh, what I would give to get to go back in time and visit that farm again!

    • @Homesteadhow
      @Homesteadhow  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Great question! I will ask William. I am not sure on how he drains the water. Your grandparents farm sounds great. WIliams farm is amazing. We hope to do more videos showing his farm and growing seasons. Thx

    I wonder, with plastic now... if you filled bags of water, tied them off and loaded up the ice house with the door open in late fall, If they could freeze all the way through,
    Be an insane amount less work, significantly cleaner ice as well
