We offer naturally-grown produce from our family farm in northwest Ohio. We currently specialize in hardneck garlic and shallot onions. This is truly an artisan effort; the crop is hand-crafted with care. Quantities are limited.
The 2018 crop is hanging in the barn to dry and will be ready to ship the second week of August. Plentiful spring rains contributed to a fine harvest. I had to get a little help from my family and friends to complete the harvest because I fell off a stepladder and fractured my heel bone. Looking forward to walking again and sending beautiful garlic and shallots to you. Accepting pre-orders now. ~ Lou Pendleton
HARDNECK GARLIC (Allium sativum ssp ophioscorodon)
Cloves are bigger and easier to peel than softnecks found in most grocery stores. Also, hardnecks have deeper more interesting flavors.
