It is not surprising that many people are unaware of the many different varieties of garlic, but it is surprising that many chefs are ignorant of it as well. We are trying to educate those we have the opportunity to, on the different varieties and their unique taste qualities, so they may enhance their repertoire of dishes. Introducing them to garlic scapes has likewise been interesting and surprising.

On the other hand, we are fairly new at growing garlic, this being only our second year of major production, but we are trying to produce a quality product for our customers. We are growing a number of different varieties to determine which will do best here in our Iowa climate and soil conditions. Others, such as the Creole garlics, we know will be on the smaller size, but we are raising them so they will be available. We are also raising interesting foreign varieties which are especially good for a specific countries cuisine.

We don't plan on getting very large and the varieties we offer are in limited supply. This year our supply has been exhausted, however we look forward to next year when we will be able again to make offerings. I am sorry if you missed out.

We have designed this website to be very simple and user friendly, so that it loads quickly and presents the information straighforwardly. If you have any difficulty with it, please let us know.
