Bluffton merchants are hosting the second Discovery Day of the summer on Saturday, Aug. 22. From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., more than a dozen shops will have special offers and sales.
“Our downtown merchants are very collaborative,” says Paula Scott, CEO of the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce. “They have coordinated Discovery Days to showcase our shops and provide an extra special day for shoppers, including Bluffton University students who have just returned to town."
With large clumps of garlic hanging from its rafters and others lined up on a wooden rack, the barn on the Little Riley Creek Farm is suggestive of an old European farmhouse kitchen decorated with garlic braids.
Amanda Wischmeyer, who with her husband, Jon Tuttle, owns the farm, said that they grow four different varieties of garlic: French Violet, Italian Lorz, Chesnok Red and a variety that was growing on the farm when they purchased it.
