We've been busy telling people our story and informing them about the potential of garlic scapes this week at Farmer's Markets in Holmen, Trempealeau, and Galesville. Until this week, I've always been on the buying end at farmer's markets, and now "on the other side the table" I can tell you it's just as fun talking with the customer suggesting what they can do with the product.
I will admit that most people in West-Central Wisconsin that we've met this week have never heard or seen a scape, so the sales pitch for us was almost rather exhausting, yet fun at the same time. We'll likely do a few more markets with scapes, then take a hiatus from the markets while we're in garlic harvest mode.
Rochester Wholesale Fruit of Winona and Midtown Foods have been selling our scapes to customers, along with getting a nice shout-out from Cam at Elmaro Vineyard has been great for local exposure too.
We've picked the majority of our scapes, and couldn't have done it without our scape harvest crew!
