## Caption

This hidden-gem California town is known for… garlic! 🧄 Downtown Gilroy is known for garlic because it is the headquarters of Christopher Ranch, the nation's largest domestic garlic grower and processor. 🚜

Nicknamed the “Garlic Capital of the World,” Gilroy’s climate is conducive to garlic production, and the town has leaned into its fame with garlic favorites on restaurant menus—even in unique forms like ice cream. 🍦 Explore Gilroy's charming Historic Downtown District to discover its boutique shops and restaurants, or visit in late July for garlicky food and fun at the Gilroy Garlic Festival. 😮

Learn more about Gilroy in the latest episode of the California Now Podcast—just click the link in bio to listen in.
