We have been growing garlic for several years now, and our stocks are beginning to be large enough to offer
some for sale to the public. Currently we grow 15 different varieties of gourmet garlics.
As the season winds to an end, we are down to just small bulbs. Most bulbs will be in the 1" size
or less. It will mean a little more peeling if you are buying your garlic to use in the kitchen (using a good
mincer can save a lot of time). If they are for planting, it should not make too much difference as long as you give
them adequate time this fall to get rooted in and good growing conditions next summer.
All our garlics are grown without the use of herbicides or pesticides. We are not actually certified as
organic, but you can be assured we put no chemicals on our garlics whatsoever. Our neighbors know the kind
of gardening we do, and seem to be careful about applications near our land.
This year we let our hardnecks develop their scapes, so we also have bulbils for sale
on some varieties. We'll sell them for about the cost of a package of vegetable seeds. This is a way to get many
times the number of plants at a fraction of the cost. Generally, the first year (next summer) you will get a small bulb or
a 'round'. The second year you will get a full bulb of garlic. If you want to go for a third year, you'll get
the giant bulbs everyone likes. For those who are patient, this is a way to develop a large stock in a two-year period.
Another item we have available this year is baby green garlic or "spring garlic." These are small plants that are still at a tender stage. Chefs love to use them because of their
mild flavor that does not overwhelm other flavors, especially with mild vegetables.

Also called 'spring garlic', these are the small plants of young garlic. An expensive, gourmet crop that chefs
in high-end restaurants love to use it because it gives a very mild garlic flavor that does not overwhelm delicate tastes
such as the mild taste of cauliflower. Used much like chives or scallions. Plants are 8" - 16" tall, and only
available for a few weeks in the fall(usually after Oct 15) and again in the spring(usually after April 15).
Will be shipped by priority mail or overnight express(whichever you would like to pay for) to your zip code to insure fresh
plants. The variety of garlic sent will depend on which is at optimum readiness for the table. If you are wanting
it for a specific event, please contact me first to make sure I can get in the field in a timely manner for you. Larger
quantities are available by request.

Softneck, Rocambole
An okay garlic flavor, fairly mild. This is what most grocery stores carry, so garlic gourmets consider it
a pretty boring variety with limited taste in comparison to others. But for people who only like what is familiar, here
it is.
