Fresh Garlic and Our Visit to Whittamore's Farm

Last week I took vacation from work. I took the kids out of daycare and we just hung out all week. One day we went to Whittamore's Farm where we picked strawberries, raspberries, beets and peas. The kids enjoyed eating them while I did most of the picking. I love taking them to the farms. There's nothing like fresh picked produce.

I just want to show off this beautiful fresh garlic from a family friend's farm. We roasted some of it and ate it just like that. Delicious!
