Katterman Porcelain Garlic- Certified Organic

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 4-6 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 it's 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, size, and clove uniformity. Seed is over 2" in diameter and typically will contain around 5-10 bulbs of garlic (20-40 cloves) per pound. We ship out largest heads first so order early. Culinary garlic is graded as eating garlic, sized around 1.5-1.8" in diameter. Typically 11+ bulbs in a pound. All garlic can be planted and/or eaten but suggest if you are planting to select seed grade. 

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).

Our farm does our best to accurately represent the garlic crop but pre-selling it in July before we are able to fully grade it in September may result in differing quantities and sizes. We appreciate your understanding.
