We’ve had some cool wet weather over the past few weeks but we’re finally supposed to get some sun this week!
Hopefully the rain stays away so we can get the garlic out of the ground and on the drying racks in our new drying shed.
I pulled a few bulbs today and was very happy with what came out!

Look at that! We’ve had the same staff for over 7 years!!
Our garlic patch keeps growing, and so do our kids. From planting, weeding, cutting scapes and harvesting, to cleaning and selling at markets, they are a big part in every step along the way to get great garlic from our farm to your table.❤️🧄

We are around for pickup on Sunday night (June 22) and delivery to sylvan lake Monday (June 23) after 5.

It’s been just over a month since these popped out of the ground. An early spring, lots of heat and now some rain in the forecast. We’re off to a great start!!

Planting garlic in the fall will give it time to sprout roots before winter, then it gets a head start in the spring.
Look what we spotted on this beautiful spring day!🌞🌞🌞🌞

A simple and rewarding life🤍

It’s planting day!!!
The morning started out with a little frost, but it warmed up nice today!
Plenty of sunshine, a light breeze, and soil moisture is just right.
And best of all, I had both kids helping me today!!
We managed to get half of it done before lunch. Now off the the rink for the first hockey game of the season.
Life is good!!❤️🧄

Our garlic is ready to go, but our family is taking advantage of the last few days of summer.
We will be around for pickups and meetups after the long weekend.
Please shoot us a message and we will reply once we are back at it in September. See you soon!🧄
