🧄 The Rosa's Swapped Suburbia for 10,000 Garlic Plants. Why?

🤤 You HAVE to Taste What They're Growing at The Green Witch Homestead!

In the Ponderosa Pines of Black Forest, an unexpected aroma tickles the nose. It's not your typical forest scent, but something delightfully... pungent. Follow your senses, and you'll discover The Green Witch Homestead, where garlic reigns supreme in a captivating horticultural spectacle!

Kim Rosa, the co-owner behind this garlicky paradise, didn't always have soil under her nails. Once upon a time, she and her husband Jason were suburban folk from Long Island. But Colorado's charm worked its magic, and soon they found themselves eventually tending to a staggering 10,000 garlic plants!

For more information contact The Green Witch Homestead at (719) 650-9480 or [email protected]. Visit their website or follow them on Instagram and Facebook
