In the Kitchen
Green Garlic:
We separate the garlic cloves for planting in the fall but a few double or triple cloves ultimately end up being planted. These need to be thinned in the spring so that the heads will size up. Here are some tips for using green garlic in the kitchen from gourmetsleuth.com.


In general green garlic can be used in any recipe that calls for mature garlic. The end product will produce a delicate flavor, more mild than matured raw garlic.

Raw Green Garlic
Mince and add to salads
Pound it into a paste to make green-garlic aioli
Use in salad dressings


Cooked Green Garlic
Poach the last 4" of the tips and dress with a mustard vinaigrette
Blanch in water or vegetable stock and puree it. Add the puree to a custard or soufflé.
Dice and sauté the tender portions and add to an omelet or frittata
Chop and add to stir-frys
Chop and add to homemade potato soup


Farm Stand Info
The farmstand is self-serve and open dawn to dusk. We make an effort to stock the stand most every morning so that you will have the freshest veggies and herbs. We round all our prices down to the nearest quarter to make things easier for you (and us) as we do not make change. Checks are accepted.


We hope to see you at the farm stand soon.
