Says GoCamp renter, Nora Phillips, “Our Hipcamp host in Arroyo Grande, Ruth, told us about the organic garlic shortage in her area and I photographed her hanging “Chesnok Red’s” that she’ll be continuing to replant. We snacked on the pomegranates she gave us and cooked up the hot peppers and fresh garlic into a delicious meal in the van.”
