Market Farming

[Lucy Goodman <goodows AT infinet.com>]

Clean the garlic by removing the top wrapper layer (this should easily 
rub off if the garlic is well cured) and cutting the roots almost flush 
with the base of the bulb. Never ever wash the dried bulbs with water.

I sell mine for a buck a bulb, I grow specialty hardnecks (garlic in the 
grocery stores is one or two varieties of softnecks, generally). I 
display mine in a basket. If you know your product-what varieties, what 
each variety tastes like, how to use, etc.. you should have no problem 
selling lots of garlic. recipes are good to have.

Store in a cool dark place in string bags. we store ours in the basement 
after curing them for 6 to 8 weeks.
