Two more delicious garlic braids have been won. Here's all the news:
Update: Round two of the raffle was held at the Beacon House on December 3rd 2023. Congratulations To Sara G. and Valerie T. who were the winners of this delicious (and beautiful) organic garlic grown at DIGS this year. For those who didn't win, the new crop is in the ground for next year's raffle.

Round one of the community garden’s garlic braid draws was held today (Saturday) at the 10am garden meet-up. Winners of the first two braids were Jim K. of Cpt. Morg. and Tom B. (friend from Ontario to the Harris's we hear).
Both braids are made from the garden’s prized Red Russian stock garlic. This variety of garlic is now the world’s most popular, a purple stripe cherished by gourmets for its succulence and long-lasting traits.
Tickets for the next draw — for a similar pair of Red-Russian braids — will be available in early November with the draw for those to be held Sunday, Dec. 3 at the Christmas craft sale at Beacon House. Ticket prices remain the same — $2 each or three for $5. Notice of ticket availability will be posted soon. Proceeds go to support the Community Garden!
