Freezer Label, Bag, and Portion Bin Refill Basics

Freezer prep gets easier when each harvest batch has a size, a name, and a place to land. Gallon bags can hold loose vegetables and fruit. Clear containers can hold sauce, cooked greens, and meal-ready pieces. Freezer labels keep the crop and date close to the food.

Choose the bag size by the harvest batch

Gallon freezer bags suit loose garden food that needs room to settle flat. Amazon Basics Reclosable Freezer Gallon Bags give chopped peppers, greens, beans, berries, and sauce starters a roomy bag with a stand-up bottom.

Use clear containers for soft portions

Label before the food leaves the counter
