Whilst visiting the farm life in West Virginia, I helped beau farmer harvest over 1000 bulbs of garlic.  The first small batch (per one seasoned garlic raiser’s recommendation) we readied by washing, cutting off the stem and root hairs, and drying on racks in the sun.  The rest we nestled in the barn, suspended by their leaves in tiered bundles, to dry until needed.  We harvested four varieties of garlic: Bavarian Purple, Duganski, Purple Glazer & Elephant.  Below is a short, rockin’ video of our process! Nosferatu and other revenants beware – the sight may burn your eyes!
