Garlic Harvest

  • Adama Farm 18317 Garden Valley Road Marengo, IL, 60152 United States (map)

Sunday, July 6 | 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Join us for one of our favorite days of the season—garlic harvest!

This is our first year inviting our community to experience a real harvest day on the farm. Spend the morning outdoors pulling fresh garlic from the field, meeting fellow local food lovers, and getting a behind-the-scenes look at how your food is grown.

Whether you're a CSA member, a longtime supporter, or simply curious about sustainable farming, we'd love to have you join us. No farming experience is necessary—just a willingness to get your hands dirty!

What to Expect

We'll begin with a quick demonstration on how to properly harvest and cure garlic. Throughout the morning you'll learn about our regenerative farming practices, ask questions, and experience a harvest that's equal parts hard work and fun.

As a thank you for volunteering, you'll head home with some freshly harvested Adama Farm garlic.

What to Wear

Garlic harvest is one of the more physically demanding harvests of the season, so come prepared!

We recommend:

  • Closed-toe shoes or boots you don't mind getting dirty

  • Comfortable and breathable clothing you can move around in

  • Gardening or work gloves (highly recommended if you blister easily)

  • A hat for sun protection

  • Sunscreen

  • Bug spray

  • Layers if the morning is cool

What to Bring

  • Plenty of water

  • Snacks if you'd like

  • A positive attitude and willingness to help!

Weather

This event is weather permitting.

If it is not raining, we will harvest as planned. In the event of rain or unsafe weather conditions, the harvest will be postponed.

Parking

Please park in the designated parking lot upon arrival. From there, volunteers will walk out to the garlic field together. Signs will be posted, and we'll help direct you when you arrive.

We can't wait to share one of the most exciting harvests of the year with you. Thank you for supporting local agriculture—we'll see you in the garlic field!

Children & Pets

Children are welcome with adult supervision. For the safety of our crops, volunteers, and farm animals, please leave pets at home.

Registration

No registration needed! Just come as you are and join us in the field. Whether you're a longtime supporter or it's your first visit to Adama Farm, everyone is welcome. We'll be harvesting from 8:00 AM–12:00 PM, so feel free to arrive anytime during the event.
