I don’t know if we can call it “The Garlic Capital of the World”.
“There is one garlic grower left in Gilroy — he has probably 30 acres in the corner of a vegetable field.”
and, the reason for that is of course…”outsourcing”
China went from a measly 50,000 pounds of garlic a decade ago to 2 million to 3 million pounds last year, and for the first time more fresh garlic was imported into the U.S. than was produced in California. – Fresh Plaza
