Garlic 2.0

The Second Annual Edible Vancouver Garlic Festival at Limbert Mountain Farm takes place this Saturday, August 20. We can already smell it!

Here’s what to expect:

• Tons of amazing garlic, multiple varieties. It will be sold by the pound, in 1-pound nets and bundles that are designed for hanging and keeping away escaped actors from Twilight.
• Garlic products such as garlic powder, salt, blends, dips, sauces, and pestos.
• Garlic books: recipes and growing tips
• Garlic gadgets: twist & cutters
• Garlic sausage! and other pork products
• Garlic cheese! and other Farm House cheeses
• Garlic honey! and other honeys
• Garlic mustards! and other mustards
• Also garlic-free pies, wines, and breads.

Watch cooking demos all day. Learn to prepare, chop, roast garlic and more. Learn about growing garlic. Snack on garlic & pesto pizza, roasted corn with herb & garlic butter, garlic popcorn, and lavender lemonade.

Festival is 11am-5pm, Saturday August 20, and admission is free. Head for Agassiz and follow your nose. 5493 Limbert Road, Agassiz. Phone (604) 796-2619. Here’s a map. Please share transportation, be prepared to walk across somewhat hilly terrain from parking to farm (100m or so), bring cash if you plan to purchase any goodies; and as we are trying to keep waste to a minimum it would be fabulous if you could bring your own plate, glass, fork, napkin, etc. See you there.
