Store Meat for a YEAR With No Fridge — The Forgotten Amish Way

I am Eli Yoder, and I keep an Amish farm with no power line, no fridge, and no freezer. There is a ham hanging in my cellar that we butchered last winter, and it is still good today — a whole year later. Most folks think cold is the only thing keeping meat safe. It is not. Meat spoils because bacteria need water, air, warmth, and time, and the old ways take those away with salt, smoke, lard, vinegar, and the cool earth. In this video I show you every method my people use to keep meat for a year. Stay watchful.
