So how do you store your food if you need to keep you goats and cows out of it, and plastic containers haven't been invented yet?

My understanding is that these traditional food storage houses used to be fairly common. They are woven from nearby grasses, and are enough to keep the rain out on top, and the doorway is high enough to keep animals and the smallest of children out as well.
