Our story

A farm that grew out of a fire

We lost our home in the 2017 Tubbs Fire and started over up here the next year. The ground we found was unlike anywhere we had seen before, basaltic rock eroded into sandy loam soil that grows garlic better than any we had ever seen before. Every season we get a little better at reading this land and improving our garlic.

Why it's different

The ground does the work

Volcanic soil

Grown in the basaltic volcanic ground of California's Southern Cascades, the mineral-rich soil the farm is named for.

High elevation

Farmed at over 3,300 feet. Cold winters and a cool spring grow denser, better-storing bulbs.

Certified organic

USDA Organic, CCOF, and Real Organic Project certified, with no synthetic inputs.

Seed, not surplus

Every bulb is graded and selected for planting, never sold off as kitchen leftovers.

No surprises

Good to know

Before you order

What makes seed garlic different from store garlic?

Store garlic is usually an unknown variety, and a lot of it is treated to keep it from sprouting. Ours is true named seed stock, certified organic and untreated, sized and cured and ready for planting. You can put it in the ground or eat it.

When can I order?

Pre-orders open March 1 every year. The premium varieties, Music and Susanville, tend to sell out first, so ordering early locks in what you want. We ship in September so your garlic arives in time for fall planting.

I accidently threw away my planting garlic this year, but didn't discover my mishap until mid November. We grow organically and had heirloom garlic in that trashed bag. It seemed no one had any garlic to sell. I spoke with a helpful young man at Basaltic, who took the care and time to reassure me they had what I wanted, although just "smalls" were left. The cloves came in pretty quickly and the cloves were not huge, but not too small either. We were so happy to have found Basaltic - they saved the day! Thank you!

Beautiful bulbs. Cloves came apart easily. Planted November 10th in NH. Mulched with straw and watered. Something to look forward to in the spring. Thanks!

I highly recommend Basaltic. I received the garlic quick . When I had a question, I was called back and the person was extremely helpful. I will order again from Basaltic Farms.
