Just select your desired option at check-out!

Each variety will be packed in its own (small) brown paper bag. Labeled, of course :-)

A bulb weighs about 2oz, and we wanted folks to be able to purchase fewer than 8 bulbs of a variety.

Surprisingly, Shopify made it very difficult to offer fractions of a pound while also tracking inventory.

So we're selling it by the bulb, and guaranteeing that your average bulb size is at least 2oz. It's effectively $18-$20 per pound.

Absolutely. 10% off of 10 bulbs or more, and 20% off of 20 bulbs or more. These will automatically be applied at checkout (and include our sampler packs).

There's no technical difference between seed garlic and food garlic. But seed garlic is the cream of the crop - free of blemishes, and often the largest, most uniform bulbs.

Your seed garlic will come in labeled (small) burlap bags. Ideal storage conditions are 65-75 degrees, with 40-60% relative humidity. Our farm's seed garlic is stored in a dark spare bedroom, with a humidifier set to 50% RH, and an oscillating fan providing gentle airflow.

Three weeks before planting, move them to the fridge. This helps prime the seed (especially helpful for hardnecks) and will encourage them to break dormancy after planting.

We aim to plant ours on Nevada Day weekend (the last weekend in October).

We think that's about perfect, though any time from mid-October until Thanksgiving should work well.

Our go-to is Growing Great Garlic (no affiliation). We reference it every time we're preparing to work with garlic (selecting seed stock, popping cloves, planting, fertilizing, harvesting, curing, storing, etc.) and always pick up something new (or are reminded of something valuable we forgot). We can't recommend Ron's book enough.

We're also big fans of Earstin Whitten (The Garlic Guru of Reno). He's here in Reno, and the best source we know of for high desert garlic-growing.
