Grey Duck Garlic Farm - Albion WA

Along a very rural stretch of narrow two-lane blacktop on the outskirts of the tiny southeastern Washington town of Albion, is Grey Duck Garlic Farm.

:   :   :

A small organic farm,

Grey Duck grows heirloom garlic varieties.

The day I drove by the farm in very early spring,

the ground was just beginning to warm under the thin rays of the April sun.

The rich soil of the Palouse made even richer by supplemental organic fertilizer

and compost makes the perfect medium for the growing bulbs.

I love the contrast between this farmer’s blue clothing,

red wheel barrow and the rustic grey weathered barn in the background.

It was so quiet,

you could almost ‘hear’ the garlic growing.

Almost.

  1. Very interest name for a farm. I’m used to seeing farmers on tractors. This one in your photo is what I would expect from someone working in their backyard garden. It’s a nice find on your part Madge.

    PS: I hope everything is going well for you.

  2. I live in California where Gilroy is the garlic capital of the world, don’t you know? It’s very fragrant driving through and of course they have the huge garlic festival every year with all things garlic.

  3. The colorful stakes added a wonderful pop of color!
    My hubby would love to sample some produce there.

    A belated Happy Birthday!
    The other day I posted a mug with 60 on it and my husband asked me if I was going to tell my age. I told him sure, that it didn’t really matter. :)
