Avondale Garlic Festival

Share on:

I have been a supporter of Farmers’ Markets all my life. For several years, I produced a ‘contemplative photography’ calendar about Halifax’s historic Brewery Market together with photographer Damian Lidgard. Unfortunately, we both ran out of time to continue that fun project.

My children remember our weekly trips to the market for as long as they can remember. It was a special treat to visit this past Saturday along with my now grown daughter Natalie, who has been living on her own for a number of years.

The markets in Halifax are in flux, and I don’t want to get into the politics here, other than saying that purchasing produce from farmers directly as a farmers market is in itself a political act. I like knowing that I support the producers directly. I guess that’s why I also attend the annual Garlic Festival at Nova Scotia’s award-winning Avondale Sky Winery. Watch a news article about the festival ici, which includes recipes and cooking instructions!

I will be there this Saturday, September 19th. Take a drive through gorgeous Nova Scotia, come talk/eat/learn about garlic, and meet many artisans who will be exhibiting their crafts, including me!
