Thousands of people visited the Richmond Sharing Farm for a festival celebrating all things garlic on Sunday.
The 13th annual Richmond Garlic Festival saw community members trying garlic-flavoured items like garlic ice cream, scones and popcorn as well as learning about the farm.
Aside from food, entertainment and various workshops, the festival focused on teaching visitors about food insecurity and sustainable agriculture.
Sarah Drewery, executive director at the Sharing Farm Society, told the Richmond News she was excited to see people visiting the farm to learn about how food is grown and have fun.
“It’s great to see so many people just visiting and getting a glimpse of what we do here at the Sharing Farm while enjoying some garlic ice cream,” said Drewery.
“We want people to know what we do here and what growing fresh produce is like.”
