🧄 A Powerhouse from the Garden
Garlic (Allium sativum) is one of the oldest cultivated crops in the world—and for good reason! This flavorful bulb not only enhances the taste of food, but it’s also renowned for its powerful medicinal properties and health benefits. From ancient civilizations to modern kitchens, garlic continues to be a staple in both cooking and natural wellness.
🌿 How We Grow & Prepare Our Garlic
We proudly grow our garlic using natural, chemical-free methods. Once harvested, the bulbs are carefully dried (or “cured”) to concentrate flavor and ensure long shelf life. Proper curing also preserves the health-boosting compounds in garlic, so you’re getting the full benefits of this incredible plant.
Our garlic is available in whole fresh bulbs, perfect for cooking, preserving, or even planting your own!
