Little Riley Creek Farm's barn decorated with four varieties of this onion cousin

FROM BLUFFTON ICON - 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.
The farm is located at 9255 Lugabill Road, Bluffton. It is a 40-acres organic farm. Click here for its Facebook.
Several new “Help Wanted” advertisements are now listed on Bluffton and Ada Icons.
These range from part-time to full-time openings and include:

FROM BLUFFTON ICON - Take a final look at the now-closed Burger King restaurant at 499 State Route 103, Bluffton.
In early August the building will be removed. A national franchise company, Dunkin’ Donuts, announced plans to construction a restaurant on that property.
Demolition of the BK building will begin Aug. 3. Dunk’ Donuts anticipates a mid-November construction completion. Watch the Icon for more details coming.
