One of our RV neighbours mentioned that there was a Garlic Festival so being garlic lovers we decided to check it out. We were not disappointed. It was held at Eberly Farm which was some 21 miles from the RV Park. The Festival was a 2 day event and on Saturday it rained so hard we went to the movies to see Downtown Abby and it was great. Fortunately Sunday was a fine day.
It was set up as a Farmer's Market.
There were rides for anyone who wanted one around the farm.
Of great interest to us was a cooking demonstation. Chris who is an engineer by profession is also an enthuastic chef and was co oped by Maggie who along with her husband own Orie's Farm. They raise grain feed beef and lamb and produce a range of seasonings and sausage.
This is the Ories's garlic steak seasoning which was placed on the the grainfed beef.
There was lots of music. This was a Celtic band called the Knocknasheega and they were very good.
Well you could try garlic in many ways such as garlic ice cream, roasted garlic, raw garlic and garlic flavoured foods throughout the many stalls.
We tok home some black garlic and a plain garlic. Black garlic is roasted and it good to use on pizza's, in stews, on steak and anything else that takes your fancy.
As a working farm they also have goats which are very friendly.
Also cute donkeys.
It was a fun day.
Cheers,
Ross an Beverley
