“We have a perfect climate for growing gorgeous and tasty varieties of hardneck garlic” – Garlic Goodness
Are you a big fan of garlic? Lorraine and Kevin at Garlic Goodness farm in Red Deer is the perfect location for you to visit during Open Farm Days.
Lorraine and Kevin traded their corporate life for family farm life and haven’t looked back since. Teaching their (now grown) children to take care of the land and giving them a connection to their food was of utmost importance. Now, through Alberta Open Farm Days, they are thrilled to connect and share the farm experience with a wider audience. You don’t have to be born on a farm to be able to live on a farm!
Located in the heart of Alberta’s rich farmland, Red Deer County, they grow a mixture of vegetables (with a focus on garlic) in the fertile prairie soil. Garlic Goodness produce is sold mainly through direct sales from the farm or through deliveries (check their Facebook page for updates).
There’s so much to learn and do on a visit to Garlic Goodness farm:
Lorraine and Kevin love to share their passion and commitment to the small-scale organic farm life. They feel that Alberta Open Farm Days really strengthens the bond between rural and urban Albertans and look forward to your visit this year!
