Gourmet Garlic Sampler Assortments
Not everybody wants to buy a whole pound of each kind of garlic just to try a few kinds, so we offer several different kinds of assortments. The cultivars chosen for each sampler pack are based on your answer as to whether you want ones that will grow best in your area or the best tasting ones for the table, regardless of whether they will grow in your area or not.
Each pound contains three to six (usually five) different cultivars with one to four bulbs (usually two) of each cultivar. Each kind is put into a separate bag with the name on the bag and a description of the particular garlic on a label on the front of the bag. A two pound order will usually contain about 10 different kinds, based on availability.
In the comments section of the order form you can request specific varieties if you wish and we will try to honor your requests if those cultivars are available.
We try to maintain, during the late summer/fall season, from 12 to 36 garlic varieties to choose from, depending on availability. You might try all mild varieties, all strong or medium flavored varieties, or any mix of your choice. Go ahead and experiment, try several different kinds.
Each Variety will come in its own clearly marked bag so you can tell them apart.

Several bulbs each of a few different medium flavored varieties such as: Mother of Pearl, Inchelium Red, California Early, Chesnok Red, Persian Star or Nootka Rose or similar medium flavored garlics.
The difference between mild, medium and strong is usually how pungent (hot) a garlic is when eaten raw, rather than intensity of garlickiness and are excellent for general cooking and roasting and yet are still excellent when eaten raw.
These are generally flavorful garlics that aren't as hot when eaten raw as the more pungent garlics in Assortment #3.

Our secure shopping cart/card processing gateway charges all cards at the time of the sale and we can't change that. That's good for our customers because the earliest paid orders get the best selection.
Last year there were shortages caused by weather-related crop failures all over the country and only the early orders got filled as we had to cancel about 100 orders that came in later and turned away around 300 more.
Early payment gives you your best opportunity to get the best bulbs of the varieties you want.
If you find this intolerable, please use the shopping cart to place a telephone order and in the customer comments section request that I call or email you when the garlic is ready to ship immediately.
You can replace your credit/debit card order at that time, if we still have garlic available, and the system will remember your name, address, etc. so you won't have to re-type it.
I receive a copy of all telephone and mail orders the shopping cart prints for customers. It's not a guarantee but we usually have garlic long after most growers are sold out but not always.
Getting the garlics you want can be an uncertain thing and we try to improve your odds of getting what you want.

Garlic Selections
We are now accepting orders for shipping in late summer/early fall.
We still have plenty of pickled garlic, books, etc., available for immediate shipment.
The list below is typical of what we have for sale and in 2008 and will change as availability of each kind changes - we have been adding and subtracting varieties all season long. I try to keep these lists fairly current so that they can be used as a realistic guide to what we have in stock but we often sell out fast. Sometimes we sell out and before I can change this list someone places an order for a garlic we no longer have.
We are now accepting orders for shipping in late summer/early fall 2008.
We will be adding and deleting and changing the status of varieties often as we sell out our stocks (We always sell out) so check back regularly to see what we currently list as available.
Clicking on a garlic name will give you a color picture and/or complete description of that specific garlic and a shopping cart to buy it.

Elephant garlic is sold as whole bulbs early in the season and later on as loose individual cloves without the basal plates and hardneck stubs as they add useless weight and elephant garlic naturally separates that way anyway - $16. per pound.
All weights and sizes are approximate, not guaranteed, since all garlic shrinks in size and loses weight with storage - It weighed over a pound when it left here.
