Our Garlic

Garlic Is Our Specialty

Each year, we grow about twenty varieties, with our total harvest ranging from 10 to 20 thousand bulbs. Our garlic is grown on our 8 acre urban farm in Wichita, Kansas using regenerative practices.

Our 2026 Grow List

There are two sub-groups of Allium sativum: hardneck garlic (subspecies ophioscorodon) and softneck garlic (subspecies sativum).

Hardnecks form an edible flower stalk — called a garlic scape — in the springtime. Softnecks do not. Within each sub-group, there are several types of garlic

Four types have grown well consistently for us in Kansas: Porcelain & Purple Stripe (both hardnecks) and Artichoke & Silverskin (both softnecks). Each of these types have several varieties.

See our gallery below for more information about the varieties we are currently growing.

Our Garlic Powder Collection

We offer six unique, single-origin garlic powders. These are great to use for everyday convenience or while garlic is sold out.

The Hardnecks

Porcelain Type Garlic

This hardneck type is prized for its large cloves and high allicin content. Porcelains store about 6 months from harvest, typically contain 4-7 cloves per bulb, and are considered the easiest to peel among garlic types. Varieties within this type have mostly robust, punchy flavor profiles.

Super robust flavor with an aftertaste that sticks around. Try it in chili!

MUSIC

Purple Stripe Type Garlic

This hardneck type is notable for its purple streaking and blotching on both the clove skins and bulb wrappers. Purple Stripes store about 4 months from harvest, typically contain 4-12 cloves per bulb, and are pretty easy to peel. Varieties within this type are especially well suited to roasting, developing a rich, creamy and sweet texture and taste.

Elephant Garlic

Elephant garlic is actually not garlic at all, but rather a member of the leek family. It has the same fairly mild flavor that a leek has, but forms mega-sized bulbs that look very similar to garlic. Try it in everyday cooking!

Our Garlic Scapes

Scapes Are A Hyper Seasonal Spring Treat

Garlic scapes are the edible flower stalks that form on hardneck varieties of garlic in mid to late spring, approximately 3 to 4 weeks before bulbs are ready to harvest. They’re removed from the plant to ensure a larger, more nutrient dense bulb can develop. Scapes are a delicious bonus crop in their own right. They have a mellow, bright garlicky flavor and can be used in recipes just like the clove!

Garlic Scape Powder
from $12.99

Garlic scapes are a late spring delicacy that have a light yet zingy garlic flavor. Scape powder can brighten any dish it’s added to, but it is especially well-suited to soups, dips and pesto, mashed potatoes, rubs, and salad dressings.

Garlic scapes and scape powder are a wonderful alternative to regular garlic for those who may be sensitive to it. They’re considered an appropriate substitute by many who follow low FODMAP diets (this is not intended as medical advice — always consult your healthcare provider for dietary concerns).

Garlic Scape Salt
from $12.99

This springy blend features our garlic scapes, which are paired with the bright flavors of parsley and dill. Amp up the flavor of your favorite dishes with a deliciously spring flair — it’s amazing on carrots, asparagus, egg bakes, popcorn, and salmon, among many other things!

This sea salt blend is low-FODMAP friendly (garlic and onion free)!

Smoked Garlic Scape Salt
from $12.99

Garlic scapes are smoked with alderwood until they reach sultry, smoky perfection before being dehydrated and blended with gourmet tasting lovage and deliciously peppery savory.

This sea salt blend is low-FODMAP friendly (garlic and onion free) and we love it on popcorn, chicken, in salad dressings, and stir-fries.

Garlic scape powder and salt blends taste distinctly different than other garlic products and are notably prized for being low FODMAP friendly.

How To Store Your Garlic Bulbs

Cured garlic has the ability to last for months if stored under optimal conditions. Tap the link below to learn our best tips and practices for garlic storage.

Garlic is a Superfood!

To Get the Most Benefit, Chop & Stop

After chopping, grating, or mincing garlic, let it sit for ten minutes before adding it to your meal.

Garlic’s superstar compound is allicin, which is known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral properties.

Allicin is created when the amino acid alliin and the enzyme alliinase come into contact with each other when garlic cloves are cut.

Alliinase is super sensitive to heat, so allicin doesn’t have a chance to fully form if garlic is immediately added to a hot pan.

The solution? Chop and stop.
