Something smells: A local garlic shortage?

Toronto woman's network supplies neighbourhood

"The struggle to keep up with demand for Ontario garlic after a difficult growing season has a Toronto woman creating a network to distribute a limited supply in her community.

For the past three years, Mary-Margaret McMahon has made sure that her family stored eight pounds of local Ontario garlic to last through the winter. Early last week, Ms. McMahon's husband came back from the East York farmer's market with bad news: There was no more Ontario garlic.

"Then I started getting panicky, because I knew we were out at East Lynn, East York was out," said Ms. Mc-Mahon, listing other farmers' markets. Then, she found out that the Dufferin Grove Farmers' Market was out as well, and no more was coming.

Ms. McMahon called Anne Freeman, the manager of the Dufferin Grove Farmer's Market, who referred Ms. McMahon to a friend with a connection to a garlic farm in Little Current, Manitoulin Island."
