🧄 Ottawa Garlic Harvest Festival : Saturday, July 26🧄
Hosted by Ottawa Garlic at BeetBox Farm!
Get ready for a day of fresh air, hands-on fun, and garlic galore! We're thrilled to invite you to this year's Ottawa Garlic Harvest Festival, a celebration of farming, food, and community.
Last year was a great success, thanks to everyone who came out and had a good time. Props to everyone who stayed to enjoy the music and BBQ despite the mosquitos, but evenings are tough in July, so we'll get it done before the full heat of the day arrives so we can enjoy a BBQ and dip in the river (and hangout with Santa!?) after without being bugged by the bugs.
After a warm welcome and intro to Ottawa Garlic, we're diving into a harvesting contest where you could win a share of $450 in farmers' market credits! We'll have music, delicious food, and plenty of good vibes.
Oh, and it goes without saying, but you're taking home some garlic for helping your local organic farmers on their mission for a sustainable, healthy, and 🧄delicious🧄 future :)
It's a chance to enjoy the great outdoors, reconnect with the land, and revel in the simple joys of sunshine, fresh air, community. Whether you're a seasoned farmhand or a first-time visitor, this is a day you won't want to miss!
And yes—rumour has it, Santa himself is making a mid-summer visit! 🎅
He's swinging by BeetBox to pick up his winter garlic stash—don't miss your chance to snag a summer photo with the big guy in red!

This year we're the official garlic supplier for Santa's workshop, and he's coming down to pick up his stash in person!
Bring the kids (and the kid-at-heart) for a sunny photo-op with Santa himself as he takes a break from the North Pole heat.
Bring your friends, your family, and your curiosity...we'll bring the garlic. See you in the fields!
