MEET THE MAKERS — VENDOR #8
HUMMINGBIRD FARM MN
Okay, foodies — this introduction is for you!
We are so excited to welcome Hummingbird Farm MN, a Litchfield garlic grower, to North Sibley Collective! They’re even listed in the Sustainable Farming Association’s Upper Midwest Premium Garlic Directory, where their specialties include black garlic and garlic seasoning blends.
And if you’ve never tried black garlic, you’re probably going to be just as curious as I was.
Black garlic starts as fresh garlic and is aged for weeks under controlled conditions. During that process, it transforms — the cloves become dark, soft and almost jelly-like, and that sharp raw-garlic bite turns into a sweet, savory umami flavor with notes similar to balsamic, tamarind and molasses.
Basically… this is NOT your ordinary garlic.
You can eat a clove on its own, mash it onto toast, or mix it into marinades, dressings, sauces and aiolis. And beyond its unique flavor, black garlic has become popular for its antioxidant compounds and is being studied for potential health benefits.
But black garlic isn’t all you’ll find in their space!
Hummingbird Farm MN will also be bringing fresh garlic, garlic seasonings, other seasoning blends, garlic rollers and Anderson House/Frontier dried soup mixes — basically, the kind of things that make you start thinking about what’s for dinner before you’ve even left the store.
I LOVE that this adds another completely different category to North Sibley Collective. We’re bringing together clothing, art, handmade goods, gifts, home décor, accessories…and now some locally grown goodness for your kitchen, too.
Hummingbird Farm MN will be waiting for you when we open October 1 with samples to try!
Help us welcome another Litchfield-area small business to North Sibley Collective!
Shop small. Shop meaningful. Stronger together.
