What do garlic farmers do in the winter?

1/25/2016

2 Comments

 
"What do you guys do in the winter?" is a question we get asked quite a bit, and answer "work our day-job" of 40+ hours/week.  But in all seriousness, its been great having some downtime with the family, spend a couple evenings/week at the local curling club, and make plans for the upcoming year on the farm.

We spent some time the past couple weeks experimenting with making garlic powder and granulated garlic withe the remaining garlic we garlic, and recently sat down for another magazine article, most recently "Farm Show Magazine", in which the article will run later this winter.

Also if you didn't see our Country Today article that got picked up by the AP(American Press), here is another link to it:

Just wanted to mention, unless you WANT to do all that sifting or you want different coarsenesses in your garlic powder/garlic crumbles, I found out a few years ago that an electric herb/coffee grinder powders all the garlic the first time. When I was using a food processor, I had to sift it like you are doing in the photo.

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it! The first batch in the photos I was getting about 50% of the quantity in the Ninja blender to sift though...

The next batch I converted a hand crank grain grinder I found laying around to turn with a cordless drill... about 10 x's faster than what we were doing...
