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.
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.
How pre-order works
Reserve your order
Pick your varieties and order size and place your pre-order while stock lasts.
We harvest and cure
Your garlic is harvested in summer and cured properly so it is ready to plant.
Ships in September
It goes out in time for fall planting, right when it should go in the ground.
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.
