Dear Friends of Garlic:
Below is the 2020 garlic order form for Higher Ground Farm.
You should know up front that this has been a semi-crummy year for growing garlic – a number of farming factors are involved, but, suffice it to say, the garlic is not up to my personal standards.
This year’s garlic is delicious, but is disappointing appearance-wise: smaller bulbs and cloves, cracked skins, (which won’t affect your flavor enjoyment but isn’t as aesthetically pleasing) and a smaller harvest overall in comparison to previous years. So, please order early as supplies are VERY limited.
Additionally, Pat and I are offering for sale some of our farm-fresh products to you, at local farmers’ markets and other gatherings as long as supplies last. So far, the products include organically-raised veggies (currently: potatoes, onions, leeks, kale, turnips, cabbage, herbs, and more) at $1.50 per pound; my famous (well, “locally famous”) “Gardener’s Hand Soap”$3.00 a bar with several fragrances to choose from; natural first aid items - dandelion salve, pine sap in hemp oil or in a salve; (due to customer demand) Pat’s famous Goat Cheese varieties (plain, Ranch, or Garlic)$3.00 per four ounce container (required disclaimer “not for human comsumption”); and a small selection of vintage (cast iron!) manual food choppers/meat grinders, just in case you want to convert that small chunk of road-kill venison into delicious sausage.
Thanks for your understanding of the vagaries and challenges facing today’s small farmers (not diminutive farmers you understand, but farmers of small farms… well you get it).
