Katterman Porcelain Garlic- Certified Organic

9/20/26 update Katterman seed is sold out, culinary is available.

Our most productive variety and very easy to grow! Katterman continues to yield lovely healthy bulbs that outperforms every variety we grow. We have shipped this garlic all over the United States and get rave reviews from our customers. It stores very well, keeping until early Spring in proper conditions.

Katterman Garlic produces nice heads with plump large cloves. Typically 3-4 cloves per head.  Named after Rick Katterman of Dearborn Michigan who gifted us his seed stock of this unknown porcelain variety when we began farming in 2010.  Katterman is our top pick for any gardener or farmer looking to establish a garlic crop of their own and home cooks who love roasting entire heads and prefer larger cloves for cooking. The flavor is spicy when raw and mellows out when cooked. With its larger sized bulbs, this is a favorite for easy peeling and roasting.

Grows very well in cold climates, it's our most vigorous grower and comparable to German Hardy and Music in size, taste, and growing habits. This is a hardneck from the porcelain family. Produces large thick garlic scapes in mid to late June. 

Seed is graded primarily for health and size. Seed is 2" + in diameter and typically will contain around 5-8 bulbs of garlic (20-40 cloves) per pound. We ship out largest heads first. Ordering early ensures larger bulbs. Culinary garlic is graded as eating garlic and is smaller in size. Typically 10 bulbs in a pound. All garlic can be planted and/or eaten. 

Seed Garlic has been tested negative for Garlic Bloat Nematode, White Rot, and other diseases from the University of Maine. Certified Organic by Vermont Organic Farmers (VOF).

Katterman is available in 1/2 lb, 1 lb, 5 lb, 10 lbs, 30 lbs and 100 lbs. Please note that for 100 lbs orders, it will come in 3 boxes.
