vampires beware!

By bossy acres

who we kiddin’….garlic is amazing!

and what better than to have an entire state festival devoted to it?

que the minnesota garlic festival…..

chillin' with gertie the garlic

this past saturday, the festival held their 6th annual event of all things garlic and, of course, these bossy chicks were there!

from garlic ice cream, to garlic mascots….

garlic-laced food, garlic popcorn, garlic gear, and even discussion panels on…you guessed it…..garlic.

for us, it was about an hour and a half hop over to hutchinson and well worth the drive.

not only did we get our bossy paws on some amazing garlic-inspired dogs from the magic bus cafe, we also had the opportunity to meet face-to-face with some of the local garlic farmers, pick up our pre-orders of seed garlic, and grab a little extra for good measure.

tasty treats from the magic bus cafe

after all …. gotta keep those vampires away!

————————————————————————————————-

we’re happy to support local farmers by purchasing our seed garlic from the following farms:

living song farm(howard lake, mn)
plum creek garlic (saint cloud, mn)
sun fresh foods (rochester, mn)
hawk’s brain garlic (red wing, mn)

biking and biting

By bossy acres

so it’s a gorgeous saturday afternoon ….

the iatp (institute for agriculture and trady policy) is rockin’ out a great fundraiser called the ”bike and bite” …. focusing on local foods, local businesses, local bands…..all of that local goodness wrapped up in one wonderful morning and afternoon of networking, socializing, and biking.

gearin' up for the ride

and, of course….biting.

but not hard … just little sample bits of tasty treats from various sponsors like peace coffee, the birchwood cafe, crema cafe, common roots cafe, bread & pickle, the wedge co-op, midtown farmers’ market, 10,000 licks, and more.

bossy e @ the birchwood cafe

an all around great event helpin’ out a rockstar of an organization whose mission ”is to create environmentally and economically sustainable rural communities and regions through sound agriculture and trade policy.”

bossy……bein’ bossy and doin’ what they do…. loved it!

met some delightful people, tasted some crazy good bits, and raised a little moola for the kids at the iatp.

most importantly — did it up local!
