Older producers are starting to retire and garlic has started to sell for more, so a new generation of farmers are turning to garlic production.
David Marconato, 35 years old, has been working on a farm with his father in Solomiac for 5 months now. I waited for my Uncle to retire as on a small farm like ours we would not have had enough income, he explains. He says that he decided to continue garlic production out of choice and necessity.
