You can check out their website and find prices of various models. <BR/><BR/>Dana- <BR/>We just got an upright freezer too from Ethan's cousin who was moving (It's a newer year so it should be efficient.) I'm looking forward to the easy of getting to things with it. We will keep our meal things in it and our deep freeze will be used for storing meat once we get to butchering our livestock.<BR/><BR/>Jennifer- <BR/>So that's how you got your muscles! :) My mom used to use boxes in hers, but they were heavy as well. So with my weanie muscles, I decided to go for something smaller.<BR/><BR/>Wayne - Our kids are just 4 and 2, so they don't get into the deep freeze, but I might have to figure something else out when they are old enough! Thanks for the heads up on the blankets. I'm glad I never tried that. Also, I'm glad you posted about years and efficiency. That is why we went with a new one. I didn't even think to mention it.The Beginning Farmer's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08930750761646770794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955116067520235636.post-66913065527841566142008-06-30T13:05:00.000-05:002008-06-30T13:05:00.000-05:00The whiteboard is cool, but I can't imagine our ch...The whiteboard is cool, but I can't imagine our children maintaining it correctly.<BR/><BR/>We tried blankets on top, but it just caused the freezer to sweat and then the blanket gets wet and molds.<BR/><BR/>Also people should know this:<BR/>http://www.healthgoods.com/education/healthy_home_information/Home_Appliances/freezers.htm<BR/><BR/>When buying a used freezer don't get anything older than 1993. The extra electricity usage will more than offset any savings.Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09009425518356678315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955116067520235636.post-58399771051923741902008-06-30T10:38:00.000-05:002008-06-30T10:38:00.000-05:00I thought I was being smart and I put MILK CRATE t...I thought I was being smart and I put MILK CRATE type of containers in my deep freeze.

Plus you have storage in the door, etc... But I think if you are as organized as you are then its not that different. Continued good luck with you farm.. I love your blog.Dana Derkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18008434059648239626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955116067520235636.post-43957845009472010382008-06-29T10:10:00.000-05:002008-06-29T10:10:00.000-05:00These are such good ideas.

How much did yours cost, if you don't mind my asking? <BR/><BR/>I'm so excited to have found your blog. I am also a beginning farmers wife, though we do not own our own farm. I also stay at home and we have two small girls (ages almost four and just turned one). <BR/><BR/>I'll be reading you with interest!Rebekah Costellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04796386818330396947noreply@blogger.com
