The Queen Creek Olive Mill kicked off its Garlic Fest 2021 Friday and it goes through Sunday, Sept. 26, so there's still time to experience everything garlic.
This eighth annual event offers: organically grown estate garlic; live music; Garlic Shop; beer and wine garden; Valley food trucks; games, cooking demonstrations, classes; and more.
"The first weekend of Garlic Fest 2021 has been our busiest ever at the Queen Creek Olive Mill," said David Mills, marketing coordinator for the mill. "Come shop for organically-grown estate garlic and enjoy special garlic menus every day of our eighth annual Garlic Fest. Next weekend, the festivities continue with our Garlic Shop, cooking demos with our owner Perry, live music, local Valley food trucks, and more."
So plan to get your garlic fill this week, if you missed out last weekend.
The Queen Creek Olive Mill is located at 25062 S. Meridian Road and is the state's only working olive farm and mill. The 100-acre farm, with more than 7,000 olive trees, is family owned and operated and offers a true "blossom to bottle experience." Visitors can take the educational Olive Oil 101 tour to learn first-hand how olives are pressed into fresh, extra virgin olive oil. Mill hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
