- Garlic Scapes from Maplewood Gardens - Available only in late spring/early summer, around summer solstice, for immediate use. - Sorry, no longer available in 2011. - Scapes are stalk-like growths that form in hardneck varieties of garlic in the spring and form bulbil capsules at their tops if left to maturity. Scapes are highly prized for being much more delicately flavored and less pungent than mature garlic. When scapes first form they are delicately garlicky and tender and succulent and crisp when eaten raw. The longer they age; however, the more chewy they become until they eventually become fibrous and less desireable to eat so they need to be enjoyed fairly soon as they don't remain at their prime long. They store well in the refrigerator's crisper for a couple of weeks or so but then become progressively chewier. Scapes are highly sought after because they have many of the things people like about garlic but have a distinctly milder and more delicate flavor. Most importantly, they are available in the spring when no other form of decent garlic has been available for months. Not only are they an oasis in a desert but their delicate flavor makes them a doubly welcome treat. When eaten raw, scapes have a milder taste with a mellow shallot-like flavor to it although some can be quite sharp and with a distinctively pleasant aftertaste. All scapes do not taste the same, some cultivars are milder or stronger than others just like in the mature bulbs. - Sorry, out of garlic scapes for 2011. - After ordering, use your back arrow key to return to this point, otherwise the secure shopping cart will return you to our home page. -- Order all you want of as many kinds as you want from any grower for 2011 delivery. -- -- Then be sure to check out at any checkout station before buying from any other grower. -- Back to Maplewood Gardens Table of Contents

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 order. If you want to order garlic from more than one grower, a separate order must be placed with each grower. 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..
