Never been, we get a whiff of them every year, this year not too bad.. some years, your eyes almost burn. :-) and we’re a good 20 miles away.

I remember, in 1973, driving soouth to LA from Seattle. I crossed over from I-5 to 101 via Gilroy.
The aroma from spice processing plants was nearly overwhelming!
Neat place!!!

GGF was really neat the first few years and enjoyed taking out-of-towners when we lived in San Jose.
Then - success: got too big, too crowded, too commercialized.
I always stop and pick up a bottle of Garlic Wine if I'm driving through the area. Served ultra-chilled, it's unbeatable with Pizza or Pasta.
Just make sure, in self-defense, EVERYBODY drinks some!!

LJB farms is worth a visit. Lots of nice produce, good prices, it’s on my list of farm tour stops.
There’s a mushroom farm out in that neck of the woods. If you like button mushrooms fresh out of the cave, like I do, it’s definitely worth a stop.
