Meet Your Farmer

The “Garlic Grower is In” Booth

Professional Garlic growers will staff this booth - think Lucy Van Pelt’s “The Psychiatrist is In” booth - throughout the day. Located in the Garlic Growers Building, these garlic experts will answer your questions about selecting the right garlic, growing it and storing it for your kitchen.

Featuring Garlic Growers:

Cindy Tong, University of MN

Julie Olberding, Rustic Roots Farm
Chris Kudrna, Plum Creek Garlic

The Farmer VIP Program

Strike up a conversation with our local farmers at the festival and ask them about their farms! They will be wearing a button that identifies them as a local farmer and they're ready to talk about it

Are you a farmer? Do you like to talk about your farm? Go to the Information Booth and we’ll give you a button.
