Bay Ridge CSA

The Garlic Harvest Party

Every year, Hearty Roots Community Farm organizes a special Garlic Harvest Party, gathering CSA members from around New York to help them pull their fantastic garlic from the ground. This year’s party had been scheduled for Saturday, July 17th.

As it turns out, the weather has no respect for calendar dates, and practically every grower in the area has had an “early” season this year due to the hot dry weather, with most plants weeks ahead of schedule. The garlic is no exception, and it is almost ready to come out of the ground now!

As a result, Hearty Roots plan to harvest the garlic early – possibly on Wednesday July 7th. While they know that it’s difficult for most people to attend on a weekday, they would very much welcome volunteers for this! Please e-mail email hidden; JavaScript is required if you are interested in helping out.

The farm will still hold a farm event on July 17th, but it will probably not involve harvesting garlic. Instead they will likely work on various farm tasks, with an emphasis on weeding!. There will also be tours of the farm, and just the pleasure of a day spent outdoors. Benjamin and the whole Hearty Roots crew still hope you’ll join them for a fun and maybe more relaxed day at the farm on the 17th!
