Family Owned Since 2020
Welcome To Basaltic Farms
The family started Basaltic Farms after losing their home in the 2017 Tubbs Wildfire. Since 2018, their organic farm has thrived, thanks to their ability to produce outstanding garlic grown in McArthur, California. We believe that if you take care of the soil, the soil will take care of you. So far, we have found that saying to be true. Our organic farm has triple certifications from CCOF, USDA Organic, and Real Organic Project.
We went out of our way to ensure our customers get a true organic product, not found in supermarkets. Our flavorful garlic stores for 8-10 months when done right. Since we are a small family farm, our goal is to provide 100% customer satisfaction. Each bulb travels from our family’s hands straight into kitchens and gardens across America. We thank our customers for sending in all 5-star reviews.
What Is Organic Farming
Basaltic Farms adheres to a simple truth: healthy soil yields healthy plants. Our sandy loam volcanic soil is a plus, containing up to 67 minerals. The secret is to balance your soil so that plants can uptake the minerals found all over the earth. Balancing soil takes years, and picking the right cover crop, along with lab reports on soil health, really helps.
We work with nature, not against it. No chemicals. No shortcuts. Learn more about organic farming and how cover crops make that easy. Our customers return year after year because they know for sure that Basaltic garlic is the real thing and not found in retail stores. We are small but high on quality.
