Phil and Dianne Greif Greif's Gourmet Garlic is a small privately owned operation. Phil and Dianne Greif (pronounced Grife - rhymes with life.) started their venture in 2003 with a few heifer cows. As the years progressed they expanded their cattle herd, and began gardening to supplement their own table fare. At the suggestion of a neighbor they took some excess produce to a local farmers market, where their success inspired them to increase the size of their garden plot, market their grass-fed beef in the same manner, and explore other avenues of direct sales to new markets. Today they offer a full variety of garden produce, a complete line of beef cuts, pet products and sell at the La Grande, OR, farmers market. They are experimenting with processing some of these items to extend and expand their market. Phil manages the farm. Which includes the cattle end, the garden end, and most of the cooking. Phil spent 25 years working in the agriculture business and now gets to use that knowledge in his own operation. Dianne is a school teacher by trade, a helping hand after hours, and someone to bounce new ideas off of when Phil is ready to try something new.

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 but there will be a service fee. 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.

Korean Red AKA Korean Red Hot from Greif's Gourmet Garlic Rocamboles grow better in cold winter gardens. Harvests early summer - stores through fall into winter. - Order now for fall shipping. - Korean Red is a generally a vigorous grower with large foliage that is dark green and results in a pretty good sized bulb. Being a Rocambole garlic, its flavor is very strong, hot and spicy and sticks around for a long time. From a growers perspective, it grows well in cold winter areas, but does poorly in warm winter areas, and usually grows healthy fairly uniform sized bulbs. It has thin bulb wrappers that have a lot of purple and brown in them. Korean Red Hot usually has anywhere from 8 or 9 easy to peel cloves that are of good size, with no smaller inner cloves. The outer bulb wrappers are thin and flake off easily so it is not a very good storer, but no Rocambole is - through the fall and into winter. Great taste is their claim to fame, not long storage. For those up North who want to grow their own garlic it only takes a year or two to grow all you can eat. It harvests in early summer along with most of the other Rocamboles.

Harvests in late spring/early summer season - stores into winter. - Order now for shipping in the fall. - Thermadrone is an excellent early season flavorful garlic from France.

- Garlic Scapes from Greif's Gourmet Garlic - Available only in late spring/early summer, around summer solstice, for immediate use. - Sorry, sold out for 2011 but next year you will be able to order garlic scapes for shipment in May/June 2012. - 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. Contact grower direct for sales.

Shallots are small onion-like bulbs that are highly prized for being much more delicately flavored and less pungent than most onions.

Shallots are worthy of great respect because they have many of the things people like about onions and garlic but have a distinctly milder and more delicate flavor. Shallots have a magnificent crispness when eaten raw but little of the pungency and odor of onions or garlic and it doesn't smell as bad when you get it on your hands.. Shallots can store for a couple of months or so at room temp from the time of harvest, usually June.

Be sure to check out above before ordering from any other grower to avoid any additional shipping charges.

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.

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..
