This time of year, we're usually pretty wiped out by dinner makin' time, so easy yet nourishing meals are in heavy rotation.

Enter Eggy Nachos. They're tasty, full of nutrients, and nearly effortless!

Here, we started with thinning out some refried black beans with bone broth and heating on the stove. Smoked Garlic Powder levels it up

Second layer - easy guac: 2 mashed avocados, the juice of one lime, and a hefty sprinkle of our Taco Salt

Third layer - our pastured eggs are scrambled in a cast iron pan with a little lard

Toppings - homecanned salsa, raw cheddar, and some fermented garlic

Serve with good quality tortilla chips and there's dinner in less than 15 minutes!

This time of year, we're often asked when to harvest garlic.

The short answer - to the surprise of no horticulturist anywhere - is it depends!

Factors affecting the ideal harvest time are the growing season of this particular crop (hot, cold, wet, dry, etc), when exactly the garlic was planted, if it was fed and watered adequately, and perhaps most importantly ... the type of garlic.

Different types of garlic mature at different times, so it's helpful to label and track what varieties you plant.

For us, the artichoke types are always first, followed quickly by most of our purple stripes. Then it's the porcelains and the elephant garlic, and lastly the silverskins.

What's cool is that, if you know what to look for, the plants will tell you when it's dig time. As the plants mature, their leaves will begin to yellow and turn brown starting at the base of the stem and moving upwards.

The harvesting sweet spot is to get them out of the ground when between 3-5 leaves have turned. We've labeled the brown leaves in this photo so you can see what we mean.

Have any questions? Let us know and leave a comment!

Well garlic lovers, harvest is getting underway earlier than ever!

While we usually begin around the tail end of May to beginning of June, the earliest-to-mature varieties were telling us it was go time on Monday (May 18!!).

We’re 4 days in and halfway done — that might be a new record.

This is an all farmhands on deck situation, and with no excessive May rainfall as has been typical the last few years, it’s going super fast!

Stay tuned for fresh garlic! 🧄🧄🧄
