Mele Garlic Farms

Mele Garlic Farms Family owned and operated Garlic Farm in Holley, NY since 1985 🧄 We offer a variety of fresh garlic, garlic braids, garlic powder, shallots and rope netting!

Mele Garlic Farms offers several varieties of fresh and processed garlic. Varieties include; GERMAN WHITE- Our most popular hardneck garlic. Large cloves and easy to peel. A very pungent garlic, mellows when cooked, nutty flavor when roasted. Stores well and is an all-purpose garlic. MARENGO- A softneck Spanish garlic. Fairly large cloves, good in salsa and stores well, moderate-hot (heat). ITALIA

N SOFTNECK- Small cloves, a favorite in Mediterranean cooking. Use raw, finely minced or to top any Italian dish, medium (heat). MUSIC- A hardneck garlic, large cloves, usually has just 4 cloves per head, good for both cooking and roasting. Stores well, flavorful, medium (heat). HUNGARIAN PURPLE STRIPE- Small cloves, moderate-hot (heat). FRENCH SOFTNECK- Several small cloves per head, flavorful, mild-moderate (heat). METCHITI- A hardneck garlic, fairly large cloves, very hot (heat). ELEPHANT GARLIC- This is not a true garlic, it is a leek. Called the sweet garlic. Very mild flavor, great for roasting, stores well. TURKISH RED- A hardneck garlic, purple stripe, large cloves, stores well, very spicy (heat). SHALLOTS- Onions, chives, garlic and shallots are all in the same family. Shallots are among the mildest tasting alliums. Shallots usually have 2-4 cloves per bulb. Use them in place of onions in just about any recipe. They can also stand alone as a roasted vegetable. Shallots have a long shelf life if kept cool and dry, they should last almost a full year. We grow three types of shallots- FRENCH, DUTCH YELLOW and FROG LEGS. We also sell garlic powder and garlic nuggets. We also offer rope netting, available in 300 ft. Rolls. Colors available are blue, green, orange, purple, red and white.

Easy weeknight dinner alert 🚨 Stuffed pepper casserole is a favorite in our house 🫑
Here’s what you will need:
- 1 lb of ground turkey (beef works too)
- 1 cup of rice (I sometimes use two so we can have leftovers for lunch the next day)
- 1 white onion
- 3 chopped bell peppers (adjust to your preference)
- 24oz tomato sauce
- Mele’s garlic powder 😉
- Salt
- Pepper
- Paprika
- Onion powder (I know there is a whole onion in there but we love lots of flavor 🤣)
Directions:
1. Cook your rice
2. While your rice is cooking put your onions and ground meat into a skillet and cook
3. After meat is done add in your bell peppers
4. Add your rice, seasonings and sauce into your pot
5. Let simmer for a few minutes
6. If desired add cheese to the top, we usually do but were out today🤷‍♀️

Thats all; super easy, delicious and quick 👩‍🍳 Enjoy!!!!

We have had quite a few new followers on our page recently so we wanted to introduce ourselves and tell you a bit about us and our farm! 🧄 I am Brooke and I am the one in charge of our social media and you will see me at some of our festivals! I am the third generation of Mele Garlic Farms. In this picture is my Nana, Mary Jo, who started this business with my grandpa 40 years ago. My Poppie passed away in 2011 but he is with us in everything we do here at the farm. 🕊️ In this picture is also Michael, our owner and garlic master. To my brother and I though he is more importantly our Uncle Mike who we look up to everyday (let’s hope he doesn’t read this post because he hates attention🤫) Thank you everyone for being here and supporting us. Our family is so grateful for your support year after year 🫶🏻
