Vampires? Not on this farm.



Since Theresa took over the as the farm manager, she has been experimenting with growing different types of garlic. We are currently growing five different varieties and some have proved better suited to the soil conditions than others. In mid June we harvested a variety of garlic called Spanish Roja. The Spanish Roja bulbs were small, but the Music variety has been quite successful.

After harvesting the garlic we hung it in the shed to dry. Once it has dried for one to two weeks we will begin to offer it to the CSA members. It will be interesting to see if the members express a preference for one variety over another.
