49 - "Don't wait for perfection" - Down North Garlic Co with Andrew R.
from The Small Towns, Big Dreams Podcast · host Beki Waples
Last season, Big Mama name dropped Andrew from Down North Garlic as a must-interview. Well, I finally sat down with him, and we dove into all things garlic, small business, and what it’s like to run a thriving operation in Grey-Bruce. Andrew didn’t grow up as a garlic farmer, but he’s now one of the largest producers in the region! His passion for his work shines through every word as he talks about his family, his crops, and his growing business. I loved hearing about his plants and the unique products he’s creating—especially his black garlic salt. Full disclosure: since he gifted me a jar, I’ve used it on everything. It’s my new secret weapon in the kitchen – that I refuse to keep secret. This interview is packed with insights, laughs, and some serious garlic love. I hope you enjoy it—and make sure to visit Andrew at one of his markets to try his garlic for yourself. Trust me, once you do, you’ll want to share this flavorful secret with everyone you know!
