His Sunny Slope Garlic Farm - Ralph and Karen Lloyd

Ralph and Karen Lloyd began looking for property in North Eastern Washington in the fall of 2007, concentrating their search in Kettle Falls, Colville and the Chewelah Valley. Finding what they believed to be the perfect spot on the west side of the valley in Addy, Washington, they made an offer.

After months of negotiations, the deal fell through. Their real estate agent suggested another parcel near Lake Roosevelt on the Daisy Mine Road in Rice, Washington. The Lloyds feel that God performed many miracles to make this farm a reality and to make the garlic grow healthy and bountiful, so the name of their farm became His Sunny Slope Garlic Farm. Ralph and Karen truly believe that nothing grows without his helping hand. Praise be to God.

A healthy soil, rich in nutrients and life, is the essential building block of any garden. Soil is a complex and delicate ecosystem in its own right with a multitude of organisms converting a wide variety of inactive materials into the essential nutrients that your plants will thrive on. Chemical fertilizers can destroy these organisms and pull you and your garden into a cycle of dependency.

A fundamental principle of naturally grown gardening is to feed your soil and then let the soil feed your plants. By providing the materials that the natural fauna and flora in your soil need to thrive, you will encourage more and more of these hard working little organisms to grow and multiply. The result, an ever increasing quality of soil with more and more available nutrients.

As your soil develops the effects spread further up the larger ecosystem. Good soil promotes a healthy populations of worms and worms attract larger garden visitors. It's not long before even the smallest garden starts to see signs of hedgehogs, toads and other more substantial beasties. Their presence further adds to the quality of your soil. You'd be amazed just how much nutrient comes out of the feathery posteriors of the typical family of birds.

How to buy from us:

Scroll down and select the number of pounds you want and click on "Add to Cart" on all those you want to buy.

Order now for shipment in late summer/early fall 2012.

The garlic prices range from $16 to $24 per pound plus shipping and handling charges of $10 for the first pound, $2 for each of the next three pounds and $1 extra for each additional pound over that and we ship via U. S. Postal Service, Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation, to make sure you get your package. Our S & H charge is a weighted national average so that all buyers pay the same S & H regardless of distance from grower. These S & H fees apply to each grower you buy from.

This Farmers market is like your local farmers market.

When using your credit/debit card to buy direct from different growers, a separate order is required for each grower. You may buy as many different kinds of garlic as you want from any grower on any order but each grower requires a separate credit card transaction so that S & H charges may be properly calculated. If you want to order garlic from more than one grower, a separate payment must be made to each grower because they are independant businesses in different places.

For those who don't want to take the time to place a separate order with each grower, we will do it for you if you wish. Just order what you want from as many growers as you want on a single order and when we process the order we will charge your card the necessary additional S & H charges plus a service fee of $10.00 for each separate grower involved - there's lot of clerical work involved.

Applegate (mild softneck braiding garlic garlic) from His Sunny Slope Garlic Farm

Applegate is a superb mild garlic that is excellent for raw eating as in pesto or added as something crunchy to tuna or chicken salad (it's that mild) or cooking where you want only the most delicate hint of garlic in your dish.

Applegate is an early harvesting fairly good storing garlic but should be grown in conjunction with a longer storing Porcelain or Silverwhite in order to be able to have good garlic year around.

Grows well in most areas of the USA even along the gulf coast and So. Cal. Usually harvests in late June/early July and stores into mid-winter at room temp.

--Order now for shipment in the fall.

Choose Applegate from His Sunny Slope in WA

Picture of Inchelium Red garlic hanging in a barn.

Inchelium Red (softneck Artichoke garlic) from His Sunny Slope Garlic Farm

Inchelium Red is an early-mid season harvesting medium-rich flavored and medium pungent softneck Artichoke with straw-colored clove covers and sometimes a lot of purplish color to the bulb wrappers, depending on weather. Excellent all-around garlic that can be braided. Inchelium Red stores into mid-winter.

It is good to grow these along with Porcelains or Silverskin garlics so you can have both early season and longer storing kinds. You may not ever run out of good garlic.

Grows very well in most of the USA and can even be grown in warm winter areas quite well.

-- Order now for shipment in the fall.

Picture of a few Rocambole garlics.

Russian Red (Hardneck Rocambole garlic) from His Sunny Slope Garlic Farm

Russian Red is a Rocambole garlic with a rich, musky, garlicky flavor and is very hot when eaten raw.

Rocambole garlics have brownish-purplish bulb wrappers and easy to peel brownish clove covers and so does Killarney Red.

Rocamboles are valued for being early harvesting full flavored garlics that you can enjoy while waiting for the longer storing ones to mature and harvest. Russian Red's cloves are all of similar large size with no small cloves.

Usually harvests in late June/early July and stores into mid-winter at room temp.

Grows great in the northernmost locales but the further south you get the more difficult they are to grow and forget about growing them in the south.

-- Order now for fall shipment.

Choose Russian Red from His Sunny Slope in WA.

Siciliano - A rich, musky mellow Garlic from His Sunny Slope Garlic Farm

Picture of Siciliano garlic

Know where your food comes from - buy direct from us and be sure.

Harvests early summer - stores into mid-winter.

Siciliano is a white garlic that is a feast to the eyes as well as the palate and stores well also and that's asking a lot of a white garlic. The rich flavor is a bonus.

Sicilano has an obvious pearly lustre to it that makes it pleasing to look at and sensous to the touch. It has a rich,deep flavor with a zesty medium pungency and a crisp, crunchy texture that is like a water chestnut with taste and an attitude. Its richness makes it excellent for raw eating as in pesto, salsa or just to have something crunchy to munch on with a sandwich, instead of the usual chips.

Being an Artichoke garlic, Siciliano is an excellent braider and is adaptable to a wide range of climates and is a good garlic for growing in warm winter areas.

True lovers of Mediterranian food have known for centuries that Siciliano is a very special garlic and if you are going to prepare truly authentic Sicilian cuisine, will any other garlic really do?

-- Order now for shipment in the fall.

Choose Siciliano from His Sunny Slope in WA.

Important notes for credit/debit card users:

This Farmers market is like your local farmers market.

When using your credit/debit card to buy direct from different growers, a separate order is required for each grower. You may buy as many different kinds of garlic as you want from any grower on any order but each grower requires a separate credit card transaction so that S & H charges may be properly calculated. If you want to order garlic from more than one grower, a separate payment must be made to each grower because they are independant businesses in different places.

For those who don't want to take the time to place a separate order with each grower, we will do it for you if you wish. Just order what you want from as many growers as you want on a single order and when we process the order we will charge your card the necessary additional S & H charges plus a service fee of $10.00 for each separate grower involved due to the excess clerical work entailed.

If you buy from a grower and later cancel that order for any reason, the credit card processing gateway still charges Gourmet Garlic Gardens the full processing fee plus an additional fee of the same amount for processing the cancellation and also it places an additional clerical burden on us so, regretably, we must charge a 15% cancellation fee when processing the cancellation because that's about what it costs us. My advice is to look around among the various growers and decide what to buy from whom and then place your orders and stick with the growers you have chosen.

How Our Garlics are Grown

All the garlic for sale in our online farmers market was grown without the use of petrochemical pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers; only natural and non-toxic fertilizers and pest control methods are used.

Some of our growers are Certified Organic and some are Certified Naturally Grown, which we regard as equal to Certified Organic in every meaningful way but without all the bureaucratic entanglements. All our farmers market growers grow organically and some are Certified Organic but not all want to be certified Organic because of the paperwork and reporting requirements and are among the best available sources of sustainable/ organic Garlic and they become Certified Naturally Grown, where the regulation comes from their fellow members rather than a federal bureacracy.

We do not allow growers who use synthetic petroleum-based fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides or herbicides to participate in our farmers market.

All garlic in our farmers market is grown in the USA, no imports allowed.
This farmers market is strictly for small-scale American market gardeners/growers who live and grow sustainably..
