2023 TOUR INFO:
Most people want to pick or dig up food crops while they are here and they like to see plants growing and our drip irrigation at work. There is very little to see in spring or early summer. Please use the Contact button to start a discussion on scheduling a visit that will work for both of us. Please bring your preferred drinking water, picking buckets and transporting tubs, bags and boxes.
Use the U-Pick button to see the periodic report on what foods can be harvested and the conditions of the crops.
Thanks for your support!!
USA DELIVERIES ONLY.
TOURS WELCOME IN SEASON, PLEASE CHECK OUR
SCHEDULE FOR AVAILABILITY IN ADVANCE.
A garlic for every USDA Zone from 3-10 !
See descriptions for details.
We will continue our ongoing testing of garlics, especially Creole type garlic as well as others. In 2024 and 2025 we hope to have many more new garlics and new crossbreeds.
We are sad to say that we heard that Dr. Buddenhagen had passed away in July (2022). He bred many food plants including garlic, creating new crossbreeds.
As a tribute to his hard work in that process, we will continue to
offer many of his garlics here so that he can be remembered.
We have offered for purchase for 2012 and going forward, new results from crossbreeding programs that use true seed (little black specks similar to onion seed) from fertile garlic flowers. All tested here in the cold. All non-GMO, no pesticides, no hormone treatments and all organically grown.
FOR 2023 THERE IS A WAITING LIST FOR EVERYTHING INCLUDING PICKING FRESH PRODUCE. FIRST COME FIRST SERVE.
We appreciate all our customers!!

Garlic and shallots are specially pampered and nurtured to provide maximum quality growing conditions.
Test plots for garlic research provide new and rare garlic varieties in limited quantities.
All products are organically grown and Certified Naturally Grown. We plant garlic in the fall, harvest mid summer and ship late summer into fall.
Also, we participate in special garlic research projects and document our work with written records and photographs. Some of that information is available on this website.
