This summer our friends John and Kate, farmers at Little Red Organics, grew a huge crop of beautiful Music garlic. They had more than they knew what to do with, so we took some and when the snow finally came, we spent many, many hours peeling each clove. We dried it and powdered it, for incredible, local organic grown garlic powder. (no anti-caking agents added) Good things happen when farmers collaborate!
We are proud to be Stellar organic
