Description

In collaboration with Hallow Acres Farm, this year we will be offering a spicy add on for our garlic loving vegetable share members!  Sign up for a garlic share to receive EXTRA garlic three times throughout the season!

Each garlic lover’s share includes a large bundle of garlic scapes around the first week of July, approximately 1 pound of uncured green garlic mid-August, and 4 pounds of cured garlic in late September. In total, this would result in over 6 pounds of garlic!

Notes on Garlic from Hallow Acres Farm:

Garlic Scapes – They are the flower bud of the garlic plant. We cut them in order to direct the energy of the plant to the bulb. This will result in larger cloves. They keep fresh in the fridge for over a month or can be frozen. They are delicious raw, pickled, grilled or sauteed, as a pizza topping, or blended into a delicious pesto. Personally our favorite way to eat them is as a pesto on a margarita pizza!

Uncured green garlic bulbs – These bulbs have not undergone the curing process so they have more moisture and will not last as long in storage. Fresh-pulled garlic can be used just-like cured garlic but has a more intense, zesty flavor. This delicacy is only available for about 1-2 weeks in August during harvest.

Cured Garlic – Garlic is cured on Hallow Acres by hanging in our barn. This process allows the energy from the leaves of the plant to move into the bulbs as the outer garlic wrappers dry. Curing allows for long term storage of garlic. Cured garlic will store for 8 to 10 months when kept in a cool, dry location. During the curing process the flavor mellows slightly as the moisture evaporates. All garlic you find in the grocery store is cured, however often with chemicals. At Hallow Acres never use chemicals for this process or to grow our garlic. All of our garlic can be eaten or planted as seed to grow your own plants.
