About This Variety

Susanville Garlic is a premium softneck artichoke variety from Northern California’s mountains, renowned for its large bulbs and exceptional adaptability. This mild yet full-bodied garlic produces hefty bulbs (2.25-2.75″ diameter) with 15-20 substantial cloves, offering perfect balance without overwhelming pungency. Quick to mature and easy to grow, this certified organic variety delivers high yields and stores beautifully for 6-9 months—ideal for bulk buyers, market growers, and chefs seeking reliable, mild garlic that excels in roasting and spreading applications.

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.
