Now taking orders for Garlic!

We are now taking orders for Culinary and Seed stock Garlic! 

Garlic is one of our most popular crops, and we are increasing our planting each year and are able to offer seed stock garlic for planting. Our garlic is harvested in July and allowed to cure and dry in the barn. We guarantee that all garlic is clean and disease free. 

Please email Farmer@dailyharvestfarm.com for more info and to place an order.  We accept check and paypal.

When ordering please take careful note of the following:

Quantity:  Both culinary and seed garlic is sold by the pound, with discounts over 25 pounds.

                Culinary garlic is $10/lb. Premium Seed Garlic is $15/lb

Size:        Culinary garlic is great for cooking and bulbs range in size from 1 ½ - 1 ¾ in. diameter.                Seed garlic bulbs are 2 in. diameter or larger and are the ideal size for planting. 

Shipping: We usually ship using United States Postal Service (USPS) using Priority Mail which usually arrives in 2-3 days and provides shipment tracking. We ship starting mid-September. Remember to remove your garlic form the box immediately and store it in a cool, dry place until you are ready to plant. 

We grow three great varieties: 

German Red: The standard Rocambole variety that we all love. This was one of the first stiff necked varieties to become widely popular. White wrappers with a slight pinkish-red tinge over flattened bulbs. The easy to peel cloves have a spicy, rich garlic flavor with a little fire. Loves to grow in the cold, northern winters.  

German White: Very winter-hardy porcelain variety having a large root system to help withstand the freezing and thawing cycle that heaves the bulbs out of the ground. Large well-formed heads have a strong and robust flavor. Stores well. 

   

Pskem River: This hard-to-find large-clove garlic was collected from the Pskem River Valley in Uzbekistan. This garlic has beautiful purple stripes and a superior complex flavor. It is our first garlic to mature. It is also a great garlic for storage.

The start of a new, and very different, season

Today, the first of May, it seems finally that Winter has lazily moved over for Spring. The silence and sleepiness is now replaced with insect emergence, frantic nest building, and busy farmers feeling rushed to get soil plowed, minerals spread, and seeds and plants tucked into the warming soil.

 

 New life finally emerges from deep below the frozen earth. The new vibrant green life has a way of inspiring the hard work and long hours of Spring field work.

 

I have been busy in the greenhouse starting seeds and potting up tiny plants to get them strong enough for their new life outdoors, outside of the protective shell of the greenhouse. 

And the start of Spring is always marked by the little babies prancing around the pasture for the first time. Jumping and running far enough away from mom until you hear the reassuring call to come back. Napping most of the day in the warm sun.This Spring seems quite typical around the farm, everything is in it's place and happening in it's time. 

This Spring is quite different for me, however, as I am preparing to welcome my own little farm baby this August. All that napping in the sun is very tempting and I do give in occasionally. But there is still so much to be done. There are many changes this season and more to come, but one thing that will never change is my desire to grow and be apart of something larger. There is always the chance to start anew and nothing ever stays the same, but I believe we are richer for these changes.
