🧄 Big news for garlic lovers!

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that we have officially secured a premium seed stock of the legendary Aglio Rosso di Nubia (Nubia Red Garlic) for our farm!

Direct from Sicily to our local organic soil, this rare, heirloom variety is famous worldwide for its striking purple-red inner skins and an intense, richly aromatic flavor that culinary chefs dream about.

As a dedicated local garlic farm, bringing these specialized, high-quality organic bulbs to our community is exactly what we love to do.

We can’t wait to get these cloves in the ground this season. Stay tuned for updates on their growth, and get ready to experience a whole new level of flavor at harvest time!

Perfect day for planting! Getting these garlic cloves into the ground today, one row at a time. There is something so satisfying about seeing a long stretch of landscape fabric with every hole ready for a future harvest. It’s a beautiful reminder that good things take time--about 8 months!

The farm has been keeping us busy, and honestly, things have been going wonderfully lately. (Well, except for our ongoing battle with a few stubborn fire ant mounds! They definitely didn't get the memo that today was supposed to be a peaceful planting time). But a little farming drama won't spoil this gorgeous day. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

And to our new friends, don't miss the harvest! Follow our farm page to join our community of friends and get notified the second our premium garlic goes on sale next summer. We offer organically grown garlic originating from Italy, Russia, France, and Spain. Tap Follow now!

Your garlic farmers,

The first row is officially down, and the countdown to next summer’s harvest has officially begun! 🧄

Take a look at this beautiful, clean setup! This perfectly prepped landscape fabric with its precision-cut planting holes is going to keep our soil warm, happy, and completely weed-free.

Why all the prep work? Because our premium, locally grown, and organically grown garlic deserves the absolute best starting line. Every single clove tucked into these holes today means high-quality, robust flavor on your kitchen table next year.

It is officially planting season on the farm! We are working hard to bring you the best quality garlic that your tastebuds will absolutely love. Stay tuned as we fill up the rest of these rows!

NEXT SUMMER'S HARVEST UPDATE & PRICING 🧄To our wonderful garlic community: We are preparing the ground for next summer's garlic crop!

First and foremost, thank you. We know you make a massive commitment to drive to our doorstep to pick up your annual garlic supply. With the cost of fuel along with your choice to spend your dollars with us, we truly appreciate every mile you drive to support our farm.

We have proudly kept our garlic prices completely flat for the last 5 years. However, to keep up with our own rising farm input costs, we are adjusting our pricing structure for next summer.

Because we deeply value your loyalty and want to make sure your drive to the farm is always worth it, we have designed this new structure:

✨ Standard Gourmet Garlic Varieties:

• 1 to 2 Pounds: $18 / lb
• 3+ Pounds: $15 / lb 🚨 (Locking in our original, 5-year price!)

By ordering 3 pounds or more, you can completely bypass the price increase and get the exact same rate you always have.

✨ NEW EXCLUSIVE VARIETY: Aglio Rosso ($25 / lb). We are incredibly excited to introduce a limited, premium heirloom crop next summer: Aglio Rosso. This Italian variety is highly renowned not just for its rich history and deep, robust flavor, but also for its exceptionally high allicin content, which offers incredible natural health and immune-boosting benefits. Due to a smaller, specialized harvest size, this premium variety will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

💬 HOW TO ORDER: As always, we will let everyone know in advance exactly when we plan to officially open up the garlic store for sales! Once open, like previous years, you can place your orders by sending us a direct message on our farm page to reserve your doorstep pickup bag.

Thank you for letting us be your local garlic growers. We can’t wait to open our door to you next summer!

Hi everyone. We hope that everyone is okay after this recent stream of storms rolling through the area. We had some very strong winds here at the farm. Luckily, it only resulted in our basketball goal being blown over and a few shingles being uplifted but able to be nailed back down. Whenever we get these types of heavy windstorms, we are always filled with worry that our hoophouse will be damaged, along with our crops.

We have been extremely busy these last few months since our garlic season came to a close, completing floral orders for various florists that we have been working with for years and prepping beds for garlic planting in the fall.

Nevertheless, we wanted to take a moment to share some exciting news about our garlic operation. Next year, our hope is to offer a more robust inventory of one of the most famous and highly regarded Italian garlic varieties (both by Michelin star chefs and garlic connoisseurs): Aglio Rosso Di Sulmona.

This variety of garlic is a rare, highly prized Italian garlic variety native to the Peligna Valley in Abruzzo, Italy. It is famous for its vibrant purplish-red cloves, robust aroma, and sweet, pungent flavor. It also contains high amounts of allicin, which is the primary bioactive sulfur compound responsible for garlic's intense aroma and powerful health benefits.

We were able to obtain a decent amount of seed stock for planting this fall. So, we are hoping that this will allow us to have a decent inventory to sell next year. Of course, like all garlic varieties, this will depend heavily on environmental acclimation and mother nature, aka, the weather.

We know that some of you have already inquired about obtaining Aglio Rosso Di Sulmona at next year's sale. We will give an update on its inventory closer to sale time, along with pricing. We have yet to determine pricing on this particular rare, highly sought after, variety.

As always, we are incredibly grateful for your interest in our small farm. Rooted in love and watered by hand, our tiny farm is thriving because of supporters like you. Your support fuels our passion to grow the brightest blooms and the best tasting, healthiest, organically grown garlic. Every flower seed and garlic clove we plant is a promise, and knowing that our community values this honest, dirt-under-the-fingernails work fills our hearts with immense gratitude. We do not just grow garlic and flowers here; thanks to your wonderful interest, we are cultivating a vibrant, connected family.

Warm thanks,

--Johnsie and Ryan.

And that's a wrap! Our 2026 garlic store is officially closed!

Another banner garlic year thanks to you, our wonderful customers. Like previous years, our garlic sold out in record time. Several pounds of garlic have now made their way to kitchens all across the state and nation.

We thank you so, so much for your wonderful support of our small garlic farm. Johnsie and I appreciate each and every one of you taking the time out of your busy day to drive out to our farm (especially in this year’s horribly hot, unbearable weather) choosing to spend your dollars with us. Without you, we could not do what we do. YOU are the backbone of our business, and we never ever forget that.

We take immense pride in our small garlic operation. For us, garlic is not a side option in a long list of other farm produce sale items. For us, garlic deserves its own spotlight.

Garlic is what we do, and we love what we do. We strive each and every day to provide the best, locally and organically grown garlic available, with our ultimate goal being that you love our garlic as much as we love growing it.

Again, thank you all for everything. We feel so blessed to have such wonderful customers. Now, on to getting garlic beds ready for 2027!

It is that time of the year again!

Our organically locally grown heirloom gourmet garlic is now for sale.

If you have never tried fresh garlic, we recommend you try it, as it is on a whole different level than the imported garlic found in grocery stores. That garlic is not fresh in the least bit. Fresh garlic definitely changes any dish.

Our garlic also has extremely high allicin content. Allicin is one of the main active compounds derived from garlic. It helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol level. Additionally, it can boost immunity, works as an anti-inflammatory, and improves heart health such as having a positive impact on arteries and blood pressure.

We are selling our garlic for $15 per pound, the same as last year. If you would like any, you can instant message us on our Farm page letting us know how much you would like. PLEASE do not place an order through the comments section. As we will be taking orders via instant messenger on a first come-first served basis. We will be making our order list in the order in which the orders are received. We ask that you please be patient with us as we work through the list.

Orders are farm pick-up only. Please bring exact cash for the amount you plan to purchase. Our garlic sells out extremely fast. So, make sure you get your order in! Also, you can check with us regarding availability.

As always, we greatly appreciate your business. We could not do this without you. Thank you!

Your garlic farmers,

Hi everyone, it has been a while since our last posting. Sorry, things have been hectic here on the farm trying to make sure everything is watered and taken care of in this immense, unbearable heat stretch.

We hope everyone had a safe and happy Fourth! We let off fireworks here and the kids loved them. Always great to spend quality time with family.

We are shooting for the garlic store opening to be this coming weekend. So, be on the lookout for the posting, as our garlic sells out very fast. We are extremely excited about this year's crop. Take care everyone!

Harvesting the world-renowned Ail Rose de Lautrec from France today. Considered the best tasting garlic in France, this garlic variety definitely does not disappoint the taste buds. Hope everyone is staying safe and cool!
