We're trying something new here and I hope everyone who participates benefits from it.

In the past we have bought from growers and paid shipping charges and marked up the garlic and sold it to our customers all over the USA. This resulted in higher prices and a bottleneck in getting garlic from growers to customers. We and some of our growers have decided to set up a gardener's marketplace on our website where they could sell directly to the public with us acting as a cashier of convenience allowing customers to use credit/debit cards to buy from growers who otherwise would not be able to accept cards themselves.

The 2010 Crop Will Begin Shipping in Mid-August for most varieties.

This Gardener's marketplace is like your local farmer's market.
When using your credit/debit card to buy direct from different gardeners, a separate order is required for each gardener. You may buy as many different kinds of garlic as you want from any gardener on any order but each grower requires a separate order. If you want to order garlic from more than one grower, a seperate order must be placed with each gardener.

If you buy from a gardener and later cancel that order and buy from a different gardener, the credit card processing gateway still charges Gourmet Garlic Gardens the full processing fee plus an additional fee for processing the cancellation and also it places an additional clerical burden on us so, regretably, we must charge a 10% cancellation fee when processing the cancellation because that's about what it costs us. My advice is to look around among the various market gardeners and decide what to buy from whom and then place your orders, one grower at a time and stick with the gardeners you have chosen.

If you would like to try a little garlic from several different gardeners, you can order a sampler assortment and request particular garlics from specific growers. Click here to check out our sampler Assortments.

Each gardener/vendor is responsible for their own garlic and prompt shipping to the buyer. Gourmet Garlic Gardens is not responsible for any garlic sent directly from any gardener/vendor to any buyer and serves only as a virtual meeting place and credit/debit card processor for the convenience of both gardener and buyer. Gourmet Garlic Gardens' total liability from all causes is limited to refunding the monies the buyer has charged against their card using Gourmet Garlic Gardens as a payment processor for any specific transaction with any particular gardener/vendor.

Most varieties Will sell Out before Thanksgiving.

The earliest Orders always get the best bulbs.

We are now accepting orders for most varieties.
Prices and availability of garlic subject to change without notice.
