Garlic Festival

I am sure sales from this festival helps many a farmer pay their property taxes for a year!  For us this year it was a chance to replenish our garlic seed to plant which is in short supply due to freakish  crop losses.  Must be the weather.  Anyway, our garlic is a hardneck rocambole, easy to peel, medium sized cloves and  bulbs, and mild flavor.

Garlic is key to our Italian Farmhouse Recipes and helps ward off garden pests, as well as being really suitable to our UpState NY climate growing conditions.

The festivals that we know of at this time include the Hudson Valley - hvgf.org, one by the garlic seed foundation, another in Vermont at lovegarlic.com, plus another NY festival  www.svgarlicfestival.com/
