Farmer's Market Buy of the Week

My weekly Oak Park Farmer's Market is nigh perfect: organic produce, some really cool cheese guys, Wisconsin wheat, visits from the Wettsteins, fresh donuts; but it is not totally perfect. A source for Wisconsin maple syrup and more grain options would make it that much easier to eat local. And I cannot partake further in this week's But of the Week.

Green Acres Farm, from North Judson Indiana is at the Wednesday Green City Market and the Saturday Evanston Market. I am not sure if they are at the Saturday Green City Market. I really wish they'd stop by Oak Park. They have some of the most interesting inventory at the market, including many varieties of radishes, peppers and edible weeds. They surely have the biggest collection of ethnic type produce. And prices, did I mention prices? This week's Buy of the Week is organic garlic for 50 cent a head.

Anyone know if garlic is freezable?
