Ontario Garlic Week!
There is a bounty of garlic available in Hastings County and it’s not too late to plant! You can find tips on best growing practices by speaking with local growers or checking out this article from the Toronto Garlic Festival. Several Harvest Hastings members have multiple varieties of garlic available for planting and eating, including:
- Knuckle Down Farm (Stirling)
- Marsh Hill Farm (Stirling)
- Our Neighbours’ Farm (Thomasburg)
- Railway Creek Farm (Madoc)
- Roslin Gardens (Shannonville)
- Willow Creek Farms (Frankford)
