Favorite Things: garlic

We love garlic! Also, while Covid-19 = bad, one side effect of masking is that we are less likely to offend others with garlic breath!

In spring 2020, when the world shut down, I had the idea to investigate organic heirloom garlic. Costco's garlic is good, but since we also belonged to an organic community supported farm (they've since closed 😞), I knew that heirloom garlic was something special. Thus, an internet search led me to Keene Garlic and wow, so delicious. I bought 10 lbs, then another 10 lbs, then they were sold out and I found another organic garlic farm online, but it wasn't as good. So, in spring 2021, I pre-ordered 50 lbs of garlic, and we are now whittling away at the supply. It's true that some of the cloves are shriveled (we expected that), but most of them are still good, so we will see how much we order in 2022!

We weren't picky on types, and just asked for a variety; so far we have tried Music, German, Persian Star, Pehoski Purple and Chesnok Red.

Highly recommended.
