New crop of garlic available early December 2008



The garlic will be ready for sale in early December. If you are tired of the white, bleached, dry, imported Chinese garlic found in supermarkets you can now purchase beautiful, sweet, lovely-smelling garlic. You'll taste the difference - ours is home-grown, dense and fresh. If kept in ideal conditions it should keep until next Autumn.

As garlic is naturally a slow growing annual crop, it is only genuinely fresh once a year. The cloves are planted out in Autumn - they finally multiply to a new bulb for harvest in November. The garlic is then dried in the air to remove excess moisture and form its dry outer protective skin.

If the garlic is kept dry and reasonably well ventilated, this once a year crop, available from December, will keep for many months. It is however at its very best just after harvest.
Retail price: 1/2 kg $20.00; 1 kg $35.00 plus $5.50 p/h. This is our best-ever crop.
