My dad dreamed of a walk in cooler so that we didn't
have to butcher on days when the temp was below
freezing.
Gene, I share your dream, thinking it might even be
practical if selling meat becomes part of the farm
operations.  
I haven't investigated the cost partly because I'm
very sure that it will be too expensive.  Might as
well keep the dream alive for a while...LOL.

considered harvesting natural ice?
My greatgrandfater had an ice house near a pond.  My
brother still has the homemade icebox.
