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 fifth year of 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, we are raising so they will be available. We are also raising interesting foreign varieties which are especially good for a specific countries cuisine.

This year we are raising only seed for next year's planting (2012). This is due to summer obligations when we will not be able to harvest at the best time. Thus, the product will not be perfect. Please bear with us for this period.

We are also offering Egyptian Red Walking Onions, White Walking Onion and red Shallots. The onions are the type that have topsets and form a nice bed for continuous scallions throughout the year, primarily. These are $ .50 per bulb, or $ .20 per topset.

Shipping on garlic, onions and shallots is a flat $6.00 per order.

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.
