After a long hiatus, I’m going to try to get going with this blog. What better motivator than this year’s harvest? After the recent deluge of rain we are finally drying out enough to get the digger through the beds and bring in the crop. My niece and nephew traveled all the way from Colorado to help us out for the first part of the week, and we’re relying on a few stalwart farm hands for the remainder of the work. It’s a real challenge with two little ones to care for and Nick maintaining a full-time job in Sioux Falls! I’ll be getting pictures up asap.
Some items of note this year:
- Our garlic is certified organic
yummy garlic scape pesto in 16 oz size
- Delicious garlic scape pesto is available locally (directly from us currently, and in Sept. from the Brookings Farmers Market)
Music Braids
- We will have beautiful garlic braids available in a few weeks. Reserve yours now! I will make them from Transylvanian, Persian Star, and Music varieties. Each braid is made from one single variety…..but that just gave me an idea…maybe I’ll mix some just for fun. Garlic lasts longer in a braid for great eating all the way to next year’s harvest! I can do anywhere from 10 to 25 bulbs per braid.
Contact us now to reserve your 2011 certified organic seed garlic and table stock; we always sell out! Check out our website for current pricing. Our online store will reflect availability of varieties once the garlic has cured and is ready to ship (end Aug/early Sept).
