Fresh Garlic
9" x 12", brush pen & watercolour
This is a cluster of fresh garlic from Family Foods at the St. Lawrence Market. I had read somewhere that the majority of garlic for purchase in Canada is from China, which kind of explains why we had been stuck with such poor quality options over the past few months. Family Foods is the place where we buy the most of our fruits, veggies and herbs.
