Jandy's Garlic Festival SUNDAY!!

Jandy’s Farm hosts a sweet affair every year on their lovely Bellefontaine homestead – a Garlic Harvest Celebration where they offer 12 varieties of their Garlic for sale, whether you only need a few bulbs or a few pounds for seed, as well as other chemical free produce and flowers.

Combined with music, food, and a variety of other vendors, we look forward to this little event every year – and how wonderful they’re still able to offer it now amidst the changes and unpredictability of this season!!

Ecologically conscious farmers, they have so much knowledge and beauty to share – their farm is an inspiring, uplifting place!! I have always loved their motto, “Ecological farming – it’s only logical”!

We met them on an OEFFA-sponsored farm tour ten years ago, and bought our first garlic to plant of course from them after they happily and patiently answered our million questions – popular at the Logan County Farmer’s Market, they encourage you to try to grow your own and even provide instruction sheets (PRICELESS!!) to help you out.

And I have had such an exorbitant number of questions this year from folks wondering about how to grow garlic, I’ll post their information here later in the fall when we get closer to planting time in October.

For now, enjoy as many of the different garlic varieties as you can, from the most mild to the ones for real heat lovers, think about whether you’d need it to store for months if you don’t go thru it very quickly, and decide whether you’d use the wonderful garlic scapes produced only by the hardneck garlic varieties!

Hope to see you Sunday :-)
