Organic Seed Garlic

2026 Garlic now available!

We are 100% organic.

100% organic seed garlic, certified by the USDA and MOFGA.

​

Our garlic is safe and clean.

To give you peace of mind, we test our seed garlic annually through the University of Maine.

We test every variety of our organic seed garlic annually at the University of Maine’s Plant Disease Diagnostic Lab. See Our 2026 Diagnostic Report here.

Our seed garlic has tested negative for bloat nematode and white rot since 2012.

We grow all of our own seed garlic and have brought no outside garlic (or other allium bulbs) onto our farm since 2012. We practice strict field sanitation (no sharing equipment or visitors walking through our fields!) and rotate our fields a minimum of every four years. 

Post harvest, we thoroughly cure and inspect your seed garlic and ship your garlic clean, healthy and ready to crack into cloves for planting.

Our Seed Garlic Types

18 Varieties Across 6 Types of Organic Seed Garlic

Khabar.JPG

Marbled Purple Stripes (Hardneck)

Chunky, beautifully striped bulbs with 4–7 big cloves. Cold-hardy and vigorous, with bold flavor and a moderate storage window (about 4–6 months) when well cured. Scapes may be looser/less curly than other hardnecks.

GermanWhite.JPG

Porcelain (Hardneck)

Grower and kitchen favorites: very large, smooth white bulbs with 4–6 giant cloves. Extremely cold-hardy, strong classic garlic flavor, and easy to peel. Moderate storage.

Carpathian.JPG

Rocambole (Hardneck)

Chefs' favorites. Rich, complex flavor. Bulbs typically carry 8–10 russet-colored cloves. Moderate storage period.

ChesnokRed.JPG

Purple Stripe (Hardneck)

The ancestral parent from which all garlic is thought to be descended. Named for its vivid purple striping, with 8–12 cloves. Great garlic for roasting. Long storage for a hardneck.

Artichoke (Softneck)

Braid-friendly softneck with 10–20 cloves in layered rings. Mild-to-full flavor and very long storage life.

Asiatic (Softneck)

Early maturing softneck in warmer regions; our Sakura variety grows well in Maine. Bulbs usually have 5–6 large cloves; flavor is bold when raw and smooth when cooked. May form a weak scape in colder climates; moderate storage.
