Garlic in the ground!



Moon relaxing in the garlic mulch. It feels good to have the garlic planted and mulched for the winter. There is about 175 pounds in the ground, so I’m hoping to have upwards of 600 pounds of hardneck garlic to harvest next August. One variety is called Armenian, a large 5-clove type. The other was called “Rainbow” by the Amish fellow I bought the seed from, and that tends to have more 8-10 medium-size cloves per bulb. Green garlic could be ready in June, and scapes should be harvested the first part of July. Thanks to Josh and Rama for all their help!

I’d love to buy from you and your farm!! We live in Cameron but my husband works in Turtle Lake (St Croix Casino). We’d buy raw milk, eggs, veggies (garlic!!) and any organic poultry you might have available. We’d love to support a local farm:)
