Size Information
This garlic is Culinary Grade and sold by the quarter pound unit. Culinary Grade bulbs are typically around 1.5 to 3 inches in diameter. They are smaller than what we sort out and set aside for seed stock. These are wonderful for cooking and eating. There are 2-4 bulbs per quarter pound.
Jumbo Grade AKA Seed Grade may be available at a later date. We are still determining our own needs for replanting. Signing up for our email newsletter is the best way to be notified if and when Jumbo Grade is available to purchase online.
Porcelain Type
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.
About Orie’s Farm Fresh Garlic
All our garlic is grown on our 8 acre urban farm in Wichita, Kansas using regenerative practices (no chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides).
We plant and harvest between ten to twenty thousand cloves/bulbs by hand annually and offer roughly 20 different varieties. Garlic is harvested each season in June.
Unlike a lot of conventional garlic you might find in grocery stores, our garlic is not treated with whitening or anti-sprouting chemicals.
