About our garlic

Our aim is to grow the most nutritious garlic possible thereby making it an important  part of a healthy diet.

Part of this process is to grow as naturally as possible. We use NO pesticides, herbicides or artificial fertilizers. Perched on the slopes of Mt Canobolas our  basalt soil and spring water provide a solid growing base. This is enhanced by using as wide a variety of natural additions as possible: a range of manures, seaweed extract and worm juice from our worm farm, compost, lucerne and organic sugar cane mulches. After harvest we plant a range of green manure crops which are ploughed in before replanting.

We grow several cultivars all of which flourish in our cold climate.

Hard stem purple garlic

This turban variety formed the basis of our crop 22 years ago. Much loved for its streaked purple colouring and robust flavor, we harvest this at the end of November. Generally best eaten before the end of May.

Silverskin

This garlic has an attractive pearly sheen. Its soft neck makes it ideal for braiding. Harvested in December, it will keep several months longer than the purple.

Dunganski

The newest addition to our line up. This much awarded garlic variety is harvested in the New Year and keeps beautifully.
