A County Cornucopia

Garlic_man What better time of the year to blow our own horn (of plenty) than August? All this month, Harvestin' the County is promoting the importance of County folk buying and eating locally grown food, while showing support and appreciation to the County's farmers and agricultural community. More about this in an upcoming podcast.

But right now we're going to pay tribute to the just-completed seventh annual County Garlic Festival, and to Ted Maczka, the County's legendary Fish Lake Garlic Man. For years, Ted's mission in life has been to help make Canada self-sufficient in garlic. And while promoting the goodness of garlic, he has generated a lot of positive attention for Prince Edward County.
