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. His Sunny Slope Garlic Farm 1976 Johnson Road Rice, WA 99167 (509) 738-4117

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.

Chinese Purple - A Turban Garlic Harvests VERY early - in late spring - stores into mid-fall. Chinese Purple is a very unusual garlic in several ways. First, the bulb wrappers have vivid purple stripes on a very white background.

Thirdly, the clove covers are dark brownish-purple. Chinese Purples have a very strong garlic taste with a fierce heat. In these Chinese cherry bombs the heat is instantaneous and they seem to explode in your mouth. They have a strong aftertaste that sticks around for a while. They are very hot when eaten raw. If you like hot strong garlic, this is one to get. They store clean but they don't store as long as most other garlics as they seem to want to get back into the ground earlier in the fall since they mature so early in the spring. Chinese Purple garlics average about 12 fat cloves per bulb in a fairly circular configuration with few or no tiny cloves. Not presently available but may (or may not) become available later.

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. Disclaimer Each grower/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 grower/vendor to any buyer and serves only as a virtual meeting place and credit/debit card processor for the convenience of both grower 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 grower/vendor. Prices and availability of garlic subject to change without notice.

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..
