Growing up on a small farm in NH, we always had a root cellar. We were able to keep onions, potatoes, cabbage, winter squash, apples, beets, carrots, parsnips and other things most of the winter. If we had it full, we would leave the carrots and parsnips in the ground and pull them before plowing in the spring. Apples would last until February or March, but the others would last until May.
