Garlic(Allium sativam) has two sub-species softnecks and hardnecks. We grow only hardneck garlic. Hardnecks:The hardneck refers to the scape that later produces a flower. They are favored by chefs for having exceptional flavor and large easy to peel cloves. Garlic Seed & Culinary/Table Garlic–The only difference between seed and culinary/table garlic is that the larger bulbs are used for seed and the smaller for culinary or table garlic. All the bulbs have the same flavor, taste and have large cloves. However, the smaller bulbs have a longer shelf life. Gourmet Varieties Hardneck varieties of garlic are the more dramatic with fewer but larger cloves. They have less of an outer bulb wrapper. As they grow, they produce a stalk that coils from the top called a “scape” or garlic flower. Scapes can be harvested and used for creative cooking before the garlic itself is actually harvested. We grow 20 varieties from 7 groups of hardneck garlic. They are: Porcelain Group-May be the most beautiful garlic’s of all. Their bulb wrappers tend to be very thick, luxuriant and parchment-like and tightly cover their few, but large cloves. They are the densest of all garlic’s. Named for their white skin wrappers, but can have, depending on environmental conditions, have light hues of pink, purple or tan. Porcelains are known for their high content of allicin. The allicin attributes to their hot sulfurous flavor. Allicin helps lower cholesterol, increases circulation and boosts the immune system. They are characterized by a scape with loose and somewhat random coils before straightening out. Plants are vibrant and sturdy in the garden. Bulbs are generally large with smooth white skins and contain 4 to 6 cloves. This characteristic is great for cooks. Double cloves are rare. Bulbs store for about 5 – 7 months. Generally performs well in cold climates. Music– Brought from Italy by Al Music. One of the most popular hardnecks. Easy to grow in cold temp and very hardy. Music garlichas a very high content of allicin. The plants are tall, finish late and produce large bulbs containing 4 to 5 huge cloves. Clove wrappers have an attractive purple color. Dense, full and rich with medium heat. Spicy raw but mellows to a balanced garlicky flavor when cooked. German White– Originally from Canada. A rich strong bright white late porcelain with a bit of heat but not too hot with a strong robust flavor. Uniform in appearance and taste.

Every process is tended by hand from separating the garlic seed cloves, planting each individual clove, mulching, weeding and cutting the scapes. When it is harvest time, the bulbs are removed by hand, tied in bundles, and hung in the barn to dry and cure. After curing, the bulbs are individually cleaned, trimmed, and sorted by hand. Each order is then personally processed and packaged for shipment. PLEASE NOTE: We do not completely peel the bulbs to check quality; each one is examined prior to packaging.
