SEEDS blog

SEEDS is continuing the tradition of agriculture at Historic Barns Park, and we are happy to announce that the SEEDS Garlic Harvest is in from the SEEDS Farm! Music Garlic is a hard-neck variety that is hardy and likes cold weather, stores well and has large cloves that are easy to peel. SEEDS Garlic won ‘Best Garlic’ at the 2015 Garlic Auction hosted by Crosshatch Center for Art and Ecology. Previously, Food Corps has planted it at Interlochen Community School!

Want to grow your own? You can! We sort out the largest bulbs for replanting, (that picture is just one clove!) and SEEDS Garlic is available for your garden for only $30/pound! Order soon to get it in the ground before the deep freeze! Order by emailing hello@ecoseeds.org; orders will be available for pick up at the SEEDS office (425 Boardman Ave. Traverse City, MI 49684).
