2011 Certified Organic Seed Garlic
The 2011 garlic harvest is underway! Garlic will be ready to ship in early September. Call 605-832-2062 or email vegfarm@itctel.com to reserve your order now or check our store for availability.
Our certified organic garlic is planted in the fall and covered with a thick layer of mulch. Springtime brings a period of hand-weeding removal before the July harvest. We rotate our fields and utilize cover crops to provide the best soil conditions and disease control. Only natural sources of fertility are applied. These practices are part of our commitment to sustainable organic agriculture. We strive to produce the highest-quality garlic for your planting or eating pleasure! Find out more on our website.
Our Certified Organic Varieties:
Bogatyr var. Marbled Purple Stripe
Beautiful marbled purple, compact bulbs, consistently large with brown clove wrappers. Originated in Moscow. For lovers of spicy garlic, this is one of the hottest! Initial bite finishes with a pleasing garlicky aftertaste. 5-7 cloves per bulb.
Georgian Crystal var. Porcelain
Large cloves are great for roasting with their smooth, buttery consistency. Nice garlic flavor when raw with a touch of heat. Originally from the Republic of Georgia. Beautiful bulbs with pink clove wrappers. Stores well. 4-6 cloves per bulb.
Music var. Porcelain
Easy to grow, reliable, vigorous producer of large bulbs with plump, pink cloves. Sweetly pungent and a good variety for many uses, but especially fresh eating. A great choice for salsa! Brought to North America from Italy by Al Music. 4-7 cloves per bulb.
Persian Star var. Purple Stripe
Originated in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. This beautiful variety is the best all-purpose garlic, and our favorite for roasting. Cloves are smaller and more numerous than our other hardneck types. 8-12 cloves per bulb.
Russian Giant var. Porcelain
Large purple tinted bulbs with easily peeled tan cloves have a mild, but pleasing flavor. Plants and bulbs can achieve a large size. 4-7 cloves per bulb.
Transylvanian var. Artichoke
Mild, but flavorful. Brought to the U.S. from a Romanian vegetable market in the 90s. Long storing. 10-20 cloves per bulb.

Hi. We saw you at the Minnesota Garlic Festival today but we didn’t want to take any garlic because we were going other places and didn’t want to leave it in the car. We have decided that we want to try planting garlic this year. I have a few questions. Does garlic cross polinate? Should I just plant one kind or can I plant several kinds next to each other? I am also wondering how much to plant. We are all garlic lovers and I want to plant enough to supply about 6 families. Can you give me any suggestions? I am looking at music and Bogatyr. I don’t expect to hear from you until you get home so there is no hurry. I am assuming that we would plant in central Minnesota about the middle of September? Thank you for your help.

Are you out of seed garlic? All your links above do not respond. I would like to order some ASAP if you have Bogatyr and/or Georgian Crystal; please advise. I was happy with what you sent last year and hope I have not missed the boat. Thanks.

Just wondering if you still have garlic available and what other items you may have for sale.
My wife and I are always looking for organic produce.
We live in Minneota, MN not too far from Astoria.
Thanks

Hello! We will have garlic available for sale probably end of August. We are just now beginning the harvest; it’s a little late this year. We also do garlic braids of varying sizes and garlic scape pesto, which is sold frozen and when thawed can be eaten on pasta, sandwiches, chicken, pizza, steak-virtually anything! We are on localharvest.org and have a website http://www.prairiegarlic.com linked to our store on localharvest. I will be updating the store when we have garlic available. Current pricing is listed on our website. Unfortunately, we don’t currently grow any other produce for sale currently. We do ship garlic and braids and will be vendors at the MN Garlic Festival in Hutchinson on August 13. Pesto can be purchased from us at the farm, or at our market stand at the Brookings farmers market or from the online SD local foods coop. Thanks so much for your interest!
