Quarter Moon Farm, Hancock, NH
Cindy and Marcel Collard had been long-time proponents of certified organic farming, so when a friend gave Cindy a taste of black garlic a few years ago, she looked for certified organic black garlic on the internet. When she came up largely empty handed from her search, she and Marcel decided that this was a specialty item they would be excited to produce.
Black garlic was a unique, delicious and nutritious item that had “fun” written all over it! It is exciting to produce a food product that is not widely known and be able to introduce it to the public. And to combine such a new flavor, already rich in nutrients, with the benefits of being certified organic – it was too good to pass up.
Marcel comes from a family of farmers in Canada and his father had a dairy farm. Marcel worked in an orchard years ago and has been an estate manager for decades. Cindy says, “Marcel needs to be outside. He couldn’t survive inside!”
Marcel works the land, while Cindy does a lot of the certification management, fermenting, and packaging. But there’s plenty of side by side work as well, both in the field and in the home, during various parts of the black garlic process.
