Seeds of Solidarity Farm in Orange, MA is hosting five Garlic Saturdays Sept 11- Oct 9.
For five consecutive Saturdays (9/11, 9/18, 9/25, Oct 2 and 9) from 12-5PM over 10 varieties of garlic seed packets plus culinary garlic and braids go on sale at Seeds of Solidarity, 165 Chestnut Hill Road, Orange MA. Stop by and Get your Garlic plus other farm stand goodies! Farmers Deb and Ricky will be present on these dates with garlic growing tips, and you can take a stroll to see our solar powered, no-till farm using our new self-guided farm tour brochure. One can also purchase anytime from our farm stand starting then and while it lasts, but on Garlic Saturdays we are here to welcome you and answer your growing questions. Plus, there are a couple of fabulous pop up artists and guests scheduled for each Garlic Saturday!
