Growing Practices: No Pesticides No Herbicides No Fungicides No Synthetic Fertilizers

Latin Name: Allium Sativum

Description:

This softneck variety, Ajo Morado, is the first garlic to be harvested and ready for consumption in the United States every year. Available the first of May, it comes beautifully tied in the shape of a cone or you might think a small pine tree. The variety, accompanied with the style of braiding as well as its freshness, insure that it will last up to 5 months if stored properly. The beautifully purple striped garlic is accented by yellow stalks making this an absolutely stunning piece.

So pretty in fact, that half of our customers use them for decoration only, but please, for those of you who love garlic, TRY it! It has an amazing punch for a softneck, full flavored, and mild when cooked. Grown entirely by hand using all organic methods in volcanic soil far from any source of pollution these babies are the epitome of health. A 10 bulb braid will weigh between one and two pounds.

*If you order before May 1st it is a pre-order and will not ship until then.*

Our happy little ranch uses all aspect of organic and biodynamic farming practices to achieve the highest quality food, or medicine, as we like to think of our garlic as. Grown with love and attention, whether planting or eating, the care we take will shine through. Enjoy!
