See us in Wolfeboro on Thursday or Wakefield on Saturday to get your organically grown garlic.

Fresh garlic should always be properly cured before it is sold or used.  The best way is to start the curing process in the ground by withholding watering for the last few weeks before harvest.  As soon as they are harvested (not left out in the sun) our garlic is hung in our drying shed for at least 3 weeks.

The dry weather this July has been perfect garlic curing weather!

Last year with all the rain it was about the worst conditions for growing and harvesting good garlic.

This year with 5 days of a heat wave leading up to the first day we harvested it was about as perfect garlic weather as you could ever hope for.

So far we have harvested about 1/4 of the crop and the Montara Rocamboles are the best ever at MVF.  The Music and Asian Tempest are also just wonderful.

The crop now heads to the drying shed for proper curing.  If you ever buy fresh garlic and it is a little mushie it may be because it was picked and sold and not properly cured.   It really needs to hang in the shed with good ventilation for 2 to 3 weeks depending on the air temp before it is used or sold.

Look for it from Mooseview Farm the last weekend in July.

We are the Garlic Capital of Brookfield!

We will be harvesting them for the next two weeks and have them at both the Wakefield and Wolfeboro farmers markets.

Just what is a Garlic Scape you ask?    Come see us at the farmers market and we will give you the full history.

Thanks to our friends at Yellow House Farm in Brentwood here is a good short answer.
