Subject: Model farm question

 

Hi all

Anyone got an insights as to what a root house and cutting house would specifically used for in a model farm context? I am guessing rooms for doing something with cuttings & roots! 

 

We have a 'root house' in the family farm buildings back home, which was always used to hang onions & store potatoes when I was little, but have no idea as to whether this was the original purpose or where the name came from.

 

Thanks in advance

Sarah
