A Once A Year Special Culinary Treat — Garlic Scapes!!

Never heard of a garlic scape?? You do not know what you are missing. These thin, curly, vibrantly green stalks come into season in the late spring and early summer. Garlic scapes are the stalks that grow from the bulbs of hardneck garlic plants. The scapes taste mild and sweet, like chives or scallions, but with a hint of unmistakable garlicky flavor that’s softer than its bulbous counterpart. They’ll keep for weeks in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.

The very last of Green"er" Acres Farm asparagus for this year.

Only 3 half pound bunches remain. Order early,they go fast!
