Garlic - it's hanging from the rafters

Little Riley Creek Farm's barn decorated with four varieties of this onion cousin
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, August 6, 2020

FROM BLUFFTON ICON - With large clumps of garlic hanging from its rafters and others lined up on a wooden rack, the barn on the Little Riley Creek Farm is suggestive of an old European farmhouse kitchen decorated with garlic braids. 

Amanda Wischmeyer, who with her husband, Jon Tuttle, owns the farm, said that they grow four different varieties of garlic: French Violet, Italian Lorz, Chesnok Red and a variety that was growing on the farm when they purchased it. 

The farm is located at 9255 Lugabill Road, Bluffton. It is a 40-acres organic farm. Click here for its Facebook.
