Our farm grows 5 hardneck varieties from the Porcelain, Purple Stripe, and Rocambole families. Whether you are looking for garlic to plant or eat, our garlic offers something for every garlic lover. Some are sweeter, super spicy, extra pungent, mellow, more medicinal, easy to peel, and better storers than others. All our garlic are hardneck which means they need a cold weather period to grow (at least 40 degrees) and they grow a flower stalk known as a scape in June. Hardnecks have a wonderful flavor and store up to 6 months.

Seed stock refers to the nicest garlic we grow. It is graded for health so no visible disease present, tested free of garlic bloat, and is 2" in diameter or larger. Studies by the University of Maine Extension have shown that planting larger size garlic yields larger size garlic so if you want a nice crop, best to start with larger heads.
Culinary size are smaller in size and best for eating. They are also free of disease but may contain some irregular shapes and cosmetic blemishes. They can also be used for planting.
Our original garlic that we named after our landlord Rick Katterman who gifted us his seed stock back in 2010. It grows exceptionally well here in Vermont. Katterman is known for it's large heads, large plump cloves, healthy stock, and superb storage life. Typically has 3-5 cloves per bulb.
Large cloves and hardy. Typically 4-6 cloves per head. Excellent storage life.
Very similar to Chesnok red but with a brighter and cleaner flavor when raw. Beautiful purple striped skins, great storage life, and wonderful in raw applications. No seed stock available this year only culinary.
Our personal favorite for cooking. Lovely flavor, sweeter in taste, beautiful purple striped bulbs, great storage life, cloves are smaller in size. Hands down our favorite garlic to roast. No seed stock this year, only culinary.
Smaller than Spanish Roja, Killarney red has a fiery bite with great flavor. An unusual variety and available in smaller quantities. Unavailable this year as we revive the crop using bulbils.
