We offer naturally grown heritage garlic bulbs for eating and growing, available by mail-order anywhere in Canada. We currently grow twelve unique varieties, predominantly hard-necked garlic from all over the world.
Grown in the Rocky Mountains of BC, our heritage garlic is free from pesticides, herbicides and synthetic fertilisers. Our seed garlic bulbs are disease free and specially selected from medium-large cloves – the best for growing a great garlic crop. As well as seed, you can order our eating garlic to savour the joys of fresh, organic garlic.
