About This Variety
Inchelium Red Garlic is a celebrated softneck artichoke garlic with Native American origins from Washington’s Colville Reservation. Winner of the 1990 Rodale Kitchen taste test, it offers a mild, full-bodied flavor that’s excellent raw or cooked. This heirloom produces attractive pink-purple striped bulbs with 8–15 cloves, adapts well to different climates, and stores 6 – 9 months—making it ideal for gardeners and chefs alike. Washington State University Extension has since made it the focus of an active revitalization effort on the Colville Reservation. Learn more about the history of Inchelium Red garlic.
How We Grow
Why Seed Garlic From Basaltic Farms
Triple Certified Organic
Every bulb we sell is certified three ways: CCOF, USDA Organic, and the Real Organic Project. The paperwork is real and so is the practice behind it.
High Elevation, Volcanic Ground
Our fields sit at 3,300 feet in the Fall River Valley, on soil laid down by ancient basalt flows. Cold winters and mineral-rich ground suit garlic well.
Sorted by Bulb Size
We grade by bulb size, not clove count. The largest bulbs ship first, first come, first served, so early orders get the best seed.
Shipped for Fall Planting
Orders ship starting in September so your seed arrives cured, intact, and ready to go in the ground in October and November.
Before You Order
Plan Your Planting
Match varieties to your growing zone, figure out how many pounds your beds actually need, and check bulk pricing before you commit. A few minutes of planning saves a lot of guessing in October.
