We have a 120-acre family farm in the beautiful Mohawk Valley of upstate New York where we've been growing garlic since 1993. Our well-drained soil, climate and abundant rainfall are ideal for growing. We are now offering shallots as well and promise the same high quality. We grow in in a natural, highly organic manner and use no pesticides. We will use man made fertilizers on occasion as the soil requires.
Our garlic is all of the hardnecked varieties - highly prized for taste and flavor. We emphasize large, hardy bulbs in our growing - with large cloves that retain the garlic's medicinal and flavorful benefits. Our garlic is of the highest quality planting stock but it should not be overlooked as a gourmet dining treat.
We offer two varieties of shallots: French Red Shallots with its mild, rich onion flavor; and Dutch Yellow Shallot with its creamy flesh and a more pungent flavor. Both are easy to grow and will add delicious dimension to all your cooking (the Dutch Yellow also stores very well). You might want to try both varieties and see which you like best.
