Farm owner Sharon Mauney, also known as Organic Rose, has many garlic-themed activities set for the festival.

“We are featuring garlic, of course, and so we’ll be eating, selling garlic, tasting garlic, watching a chef demonstrate everything about cooking garlic, as well as our healthy harvest from here on the farm,” Mauney said. “We will have vendor booths, people coming to participate, potters, jewelers, basket makers, a friend who has alpacas and is bring her alpacas.”

Chef Jason Vullo, a farm-to-table advocate from The Vines Restaurant in Sautee, will be cooking and sampling LoganBerrys healthy harvest and providing tastings for guests.

Garlic University 101 also is planned along with tours of the 60-acre farm which includes a farmhouse, market barn and greenhouse.

“This is all about the garlic and the people that want to come join us,” she said. “Garlic University 101, it is a fun little demo that we do where we have all of the garlic varieties that we grow out … they all have different tastes and nuances and different complexities, some are sweet and mild and some are hot and spicy. Garlic also takes on the taste from the soil where it is grown, just like grapes and tomatoes are the same way.”

Guests will have a chance to taste all the varieties and if they taste them all will receive a little diploma. LoganBerry Heritage Farm is a fifth-generation farm with a focus on history, sustainability and health. Located between Cleveland and Dahlonega, the farm is adjacent to winery row.

Along with the GarlicFest, the market at the farm will have plenty of fresh produce for sale.

“Our market will be open, we are selling heirloom tomatoes and whatever else is coming in,” Mauney said. “Corn peas, okra, onions, potatoes — in addition to roasted garlic, pesto, things made from garlic.”

THIS CACHE IS PLACED IN MEMORY OF THE ORIGINAL “LAKE LANIER” (GC21), ONE OF THE EARLIEST CACHES IN HISTORY. IT HAS NOW BEEN REPLACED BY ALLEN OF THE LACEY FAMILY. This new cache is a multi-cache at Lake Lanier. Accessable by land. Park at N34° 11.473 W84° 05.230. Find the pebbles (clues) leading to Hansel and Gretel. Some of the pebbles are not your friends.

Hansel and Gretel:

A little variation on the traditional children’s story:

“Hansel and Gretel” is a story about a poor family. There is not enough food for them all. The selfish stepmother talks the loving father into taking Hansel and Gretel into the deep woods and leaving them there in hopes the children would not find their way back to their cottage.

However, Hansel was a bright boy who thought of dropping white pebbles along the path as they went deep into the woods so he and Gretel could find their way back.

As the story goes, Hansel and Gretel encounter a wicked witch who wants to do harm to the children. We must help them out of this trouble! We must find Hansel and Gretel (the cache) in spite of the witch!

Unfortunately, while Hansel was leaving stones to mark the path into the woods, the witch was following behind him dropping stones to throw us off the track. The trick here is to know which are the GOOD stones and which are BOGUS ones….

As you may or may not know, Dahlonega is the site of the first major US gold rush. The stages of this multi-cache are all historical markers in and around Dahlonega with information pertaining to the history of the Dahlonega Gold Rush. Although the final stage is a site relevant to the discovery of gold in North Georgia, it is not a historical marker but rather a .50 caliber ammo box.

Throughout the hunt, the historical roadside markers will contain the answers to the questions found below. Use the answers to find the next stage.

A few pointers before you get started:
1. The numbers 0 – 9 may correspond to more than one letter. (There are more letters in the alphabet than numerical digits)
2. The letter O is not used due to its uncanny resemblance to the number 0.
3. I suggest making a list from A to Z and filling in the corresponding numbers as you go.

Stage 1
The coordinates above are to the first stage.
Here you will find the first historical marker.

What year did Benjamin Parks stub his toe on a chunk of gold, thus sparking the first American Gold Rush? ABCD

Hydrocache on Lake Lanier. Terrain rating is due to the need for a boat.

This is very close to the cove where I spend most summer weekends with family and friends. We swim, float, relax and enjoy beverages, and thought it would be fun to watch the treasure hunters as they show up to look for this cache. The cache itself is in the ubiquitous green ammo can.
We (WillKayak4food) had fun hiding this one, hope you like finding it. From the island look around 285 degrees, 1/3 mile out – if you see a pontoon boat (the Mesa Cerveza) rafted up there, give us a wave!
