What happens here

Josh then visits the old spring house, a small structure where a natural spring flowed. He explains that this was used as a natural refrigeration system for food like milk before the advent of electricity and modern refrigerators. He shows the running water within the larder, indicating it's still active.

Goal: Demonstrate traditional food preservation methods using natural resources.
