Last Resort Farm: Local Organic Strawberries & Garlic Scapes – Widely known for their delicious strawberries, Last Resort is a family owned farm committed to growing strawberries without sprays of any kind in Monkton, VT. They’re equally well known for growing delicious garlic, and the secret to the best garlic for some varieties is to trim the flowers of garlic plants so that they stop making flowers and send all their energy to the bulb. This flower bud and flower stalk of the plant is called a “scape” and is SO yummy grilled, sauteed, steamed, pickled, or even as a pesto. It’s packed with – as you can imagine – a ton of garlic flavor.
