Bulk Ordering & Pricing

What bulk discounts are available for large orders?

Our website automatically applies quantity discounts starting at 5 pounds. For orders between 1000-2000 pounds, we offer wholesale pricing with additional savings. Orders over 2000 pounds qualify for custom pricing – call (530) 238-5357 to discuss volume discounts tailored to your specific needs and delivery schedule.

Do you offer seasonal contracts for restaurants and distributors?

Yes! We work with restaurants and distributors to establish seasonal supply contracts ensuring consistent availability and pricing. Contract customers receive priority allocation during harvest season and guaranteed delivery schedules. Contact us to discuss your annual garlic needs and seasonal pricing arrangements.

What's the minimum order quantity for wholesale pricing?

Wholesale pricing begins at 1000 pounds for most varieties. However, we understand different businesses have varying needs. Call us at (530) 238-5357 to discuss your specific requirements – we often work with smaller operations to find mutually beneficial arrangements, especially for restaurant accounts with consistent monthly orders.

About the Farm & Quality Standards

What certifications does Basaltic Farms maintain for quality assurance?

We maintain triple certification: CCOF (California Certified Organic Farmers), USDA Organic, and Real Organic Project verification. This means three annual on-site inspections ensuring zero synthetic inputs, complete transparency, and soil-based growing practices. Our volcanic soil contains 67 trace minerals that enhance both plant health and garlic quality.

How does your volcanic soil affect garlic quality and flavor?

Our basaltic soil contains significantly more minerals than typical farmland, including three times more sulfur than regular soil. This creates more complex flavors, longer storage life, and superior nutrition in our garlic. The mineral-rich environment produces exceptionally healthy plants that translate into robust, flavorful bulbs with extended shelf life.

Can customers visit the farm to see your growing operations?

Absolutely! We welcome farm visits by appointment, especially during spring growing season (March-June) and harvest time (July-August). Gene S. personally conducts tours, sharing our regenerative farming methods, soil building practices, and quality control processes. Call (530) 238-5357 to schedule your visit to our McArthur, California farm.

Ordering Process & Logistics

How far in advance should customers place orders?

For seed garlic, we recommend ordering by May as popular varieties often sell out by June. Fresh eating garlic orders can be placed year-round, but peak availability runs August through February after proper curing. Large bulk orders and seasonal contracts should be arranged 2-3 months in advance for guaranteed availability.

What shipping options are available for bulk orders?

We offer multiple shipping methods including ground freight for large orders, expedited shipping for time-sensitive deliveries, and coordinated delivery schedules for regular accounts. All garlic is carefully packed to prevent damage during transit. Shipping costs are calculated based on weight, destination, and delivery timeline requirements.

Do you accommodate special packaging requirements for commercial buyers?

Yes, we can accommodate various packaging needs including custom labeling for private label accounts, specific box sizes for restaurant operations, and breathable packaging for extended storage. We work with each customer to determine optimal packaging solutions that maintain quality while meeting your operational requirements.

Customer Support & General Questions

Who handles customer service and technical support?

Our family team personally handles all customer communications. Zack Schallert is available for technical growing questions and farm visits and manages growing operations and can answer cultivation questions. For orders and general inquiries, email or call (530) 238-5357 – you’ll speak with a real person who knows our products intimately.

What guarantee do you offer on garlic quality and performance?

We guarantee satisfaction on all garlic shipments. If you’re not satisfied with quality, storage life, or performance within 30 days of delivery, contact us for replacement or refund. For seed garlic, we guarantee viability when stored and planted properly. Our volcanic soil genetics ensure consistent quality that commercial buyers depend on.

How can customers stay updated on harvest schedules and variety availability?

Contact us directly to be added to our harvest notification list. We send updates on harvest timing, curing progress, and shipping schedules throughout the season. For regular customers, we provide advance notice of variety availability and can reserve specific quantities based on your historical orders and projected needs.
