The garlic festival was a great success. A large number of our dried garlic was sold along with about 90% of the heirloom seed garlic was sold. Arcade Acres took first place in the largest garlic bulb that weighed in at 5.4 ounces.

Testing is done by gathering a cup or so of soil from different parts of the future growing area then submit the soil to testing facilities which are available online.
