#88 - Growing, Storing and Using Garlic: A Patron Special Episode
Description
Megan is a podcast listener, turned podcast patron, turned podcast admin! She is now working for the Ancestral Kitchen Podcast and it has been so wonderful having her helping Alison and I out. This is a very special episode that we recorded just for patrons of the podcast, and it went up on a private podcast feed where we have over 80+ episodes that are just special bonuses for patrons of the podcast who are helping support it and keep us on the air. Megan and her partner are garlic and lamb farmers; and we asked the patrons of the podcast for all their questions about garlic, and then Megan answered every single one. Everything ranging from varieties and planting methods, harvesting and storing, different uses for garlic as well as ways of cooking with garlic - all the way up to medicinal benefits and even talking about Megan's garlic festival! This is such a fun episode and I think you will enjoy getting to hear this intimate conversation from the private patron feed as a special summer bonus!
