This year roasted garlic and artisan breads will be featured, along with numer- ous types of goat cheese to accompany the pungent star ingredient. One new vendor is making a garlic-infused chevre for the occasion. The market has taken full advantage of the new state law allowing home bakers to sell their goods. You should expect to ind artisan loaves, focaccia as well as a variety of other bakery treats. The farmers market’s regular food demonstration booth will turn its talents to all things garlic for the occasion. The market’s tapas chef will turn out salsas, gazpachos and pickled cloves to highlight the la- vors of raw garlic. Come early for the usual offerings of the market, but stay for the garlic. Clatskanie is blessed with ideal condi- tions for growing the allium: wet winters trending toward drier weather in early sum- mer and soil rich in nutrients. Attendees can ind at least 13 varieties of hard and soft neck garlic. Even though elephant garlic isn’t true garlic (it’s in the leek family) at least one grower will offer it as well. All told, there will be several hundred bulbs to choose from. Garlic aicionados search markets far and wide to ind their favorite varieties. The Garlic Festival will offer old favorites like Spanish roja, Susanville, Italian late, and music. There will also be a wide selection of harder-to- ind garlics, including Jimmy’s blue mountain, pitterelli, notka rose, bogatyr, Penasco blue, duganski, Mount Hood, Turk giant, purple glazer, and blanak. This year, due to excellent gardening practices — but possibly because of the winter loods — the bulbs are enormous. This Saturday, you won’t have to drive to Portland or Seattle to ind delicious bodacious bulbs that have been pumping up dishes for 7,000 years. Whether you’re looking for that yearly bag of music garlic (vendors are diligent about curing — it has a shelf life of four to six months), want a spicy bulb to kick up your barbecue sauce, or you’re just curious and would like to sample roasted garlic and chevre, Clatskanie’s Garlic Festival will meet your needs.
