Harvesting Garlic

You will receive our address upon registration.

Seven months ago, we planted garlic. 

Now that we're approaching summer solstice, it's time to harvest!

Join us in the field to harvest garlic and learn about Jewish relationships to this plant. We'll pull garlic out of the ground.  Finally, we'll sow buckwheat as a cover crop to nourish the soil. Later in the week, we will clean the garlic and braid it in to strands to cure.

More details to come!

All ages are welcome. This includes families, folks of diverse abilities, and any religious background. There will be tasks for all ages and abilities.

Dress for heat! Bring water, sun and rain protection, good shoes, clothes to get dirty in, and any snacks you might need. We will provide gloves and tools, but feel free to bring your own as well.

ACCESSIBILITY

There are flat, unpaved, wide walkways in the field. We have some shade structures and chairs. There is a composting toilet and a cold water handwashing station in the field, a few minutes of flat walking from where we'll be working. Please email info@yesodfarm.org with any accessibility requests and questions.

COVID

Please stay home if you are not feeling well or if you have been exposed to someone with symptoms or who has tested positive for COVID in the past 10 days. We ask that everyone brings their own mask. We will also have surgical masks available. Individuals can choose how close/distanced they are from each other throughout the event.

TICKETS

Please reserve 1 ticket per guest. This event is free, and we welcome donations to support Yesod Farm+Kitchen. We encourage BIPOC to sign up for free tickets, and white community members to make a personally meaningful contribution, if you’re able. We also encourage you to join Yesod in making a donation to the Reparations Stakeholder Authority of Asheville (RSAA).
