- Exceptional Bulk Value – Susanville garlic produces large, uniform bulbs (2.25-2.75″ up to 3″) with 10-16 substantial cloves. Our volcanic soil enhances yields while automatic discounts apply at 10, 25, 50, and 100+ pounds for maximum value.
- Universal Climate Adaptability – Thriving in both northern and southern climates (zones 4-10), Susanville offers reliable performance where other varieties struggle. Its California mountain heritage provides exceptional temperature tolerance and consistent production.
- Perfect Roasting Garlic – Unlike harsh store-bought varieties, Susanville offers mild, full-bodied flavor that becomes creamy and spreadable when roasted. Our mineral-rich soil develops its signature richness without overwhelming pungency.
- Quick Maturation Advantage – Susanville garlic matures faster than most varieties, often ready for harvest in late spring before competitors. This early harvest provides market advantage while its 6-9 month storage ensures year-round availability.
- Triple-Certified Excellence – Every Susanville garlic bulb is CCOF and USDA certified organic, plus Real Organic Project verified. High germination rates and disease resistance make it ideal for commercial growers and bulk buyers.
Why Volcanic Soil Matters
At Basaltic Farms, our garlic grows in the volcanic basaltic soil of California's Southern Cascades — the same mineral-rich foundation that researchers have identified as measurably superior for crop nutrition. A 2024 study co-authored by Newcastle University found that crops grown in basalt-amended soil had significantly higher tissue calcium and grain potassium than crops grown in untreated fields. The reason this matters is simple: basalt slowly releases calcium, magnesium, potassium, and trace minerals that plants need to thrive. We're not amending our soil with basalt, we're actually farming on it.
