We feature over 30 varieties of garlic. It can be spicy or mild, hard or softneck, long-keeping or best eaten fresh. Garlic is easy and satisfying to grow. Much of the work can be done in the fall, when there's less other gardening work to be done. After you harvest your crop in May-June, you can use the same space for planting your fall garden.

General Ordering Information

We ship garlic from September through early November. Order any time after mid-December. Order early to be sure of getting what you want. We often run out of some popular varieties.

Check back in July for new varieties of garlic not yet listed!

If you need certified organic garlic, please order early! Late orders may be filled with garlic grown by philosophically organic growers who have chosen to forgo the costly certification process.
