Growing Garlic with Shawn Stevens - HYBRID meeting in-person and Zoom
Shawn Stevens is the head farmer at Good Day Garlic, where he and his son—proudly known as the (CGO) Chief Garlic Officer—grow a wide range of organic garlic varieties with care and dedication. Rooted in a deep respect for nature, Shawn also brings his passion for sustainability into the classroom as an elementary school educator. He teaches students about indoor and outdoor growing techniques, water conservation, food security, and the importance of Indigenous practices in agriculture. Located in Sutton, Ontario—just an hour north of Toronto—Good Day Garlic is more than a farm; it’s a community-driven effort to cultivate healthy food and inspire the next generation of growers.
