Join us for our annual garlic harvest, our biggest harvest of the year! Our garlic was planted in November as individual cloves and now is ready to make its way out of the field. We need MANY hands for this event to help us 

1.) Pull Garlic from the field 

2.) Trim and peel the garlic (we trim off the stems and roots and peel an outer layer of skin to remove any dirt) 

3.) Organize the garlic for its curing (drying process).

  A: We will have to reschedule, garlic needs to be harvested on a dry day.

  A: We will send everyone home with at least one head! If you'd like more, we may ask you to make a contribution, depending on how many volunteers are there.
