2008 GARLIC OFFERINGS
German White
(also known as German Extra Hardy, German Hardneck, Northern German White) This is our main garlic and we have this available in both certified organic and naturally grown.
This is a very sturdy porcelain type of hardneck garlic that generally produces 6-8 cloves situated around the central stem. They grow fairly large and have an excellent strong flavor that becomes sweet and mild when cooked. No limit.
Bogatyr
The origin is thought to be from the former East Germany. Bogatyr is a robust flavored purple stripe hardneck. The bulbs generally produce 5 to 7 large cloves around a central stem. It is beautiful to look at and easy to cook with. Our limit this year is 3 pounds per customer.
Korean Red
Korean is a beautifully striped hardneck garlic with some deep purple and maroon coloration on the inside surfaces of the 4 to 5 cloves per head. The head size is generally a bit smaller than the German White. This garlic is known for its spicy heat while maintaining a wonderful flavor that lends itself well to Asian dishes. Limit is 3 lbs. per customer this year.
Pskem
Discovered in 1989 in the Pskem River Valley of Uzbekistan. This purple stripe hardneck produces 2-4 cloves around a central stem. It has a gorgeous light purple to mauve coloration. The flavor is outstanding with a sharpness similar to Bogatyr. The limit this year is 3 lbs. per customer.
Ozark
I collected this beautiful softneck garlic from my friend, Ron Bennett of Farmington, NY. and am offering it for the first time this year. Originally grown in the Arkansas Ozark Mountain area, it has adapted well to our northern climate and soils. The heads are 2”-21/2” in diameter with fairly large cloves. The taste is somewhat milder than the hardnecks. This year’s limit is 5lbs. per customer.
Italian White
This variety is familiar to many and looks like a California type found in the supermarkets. It has a mild flavor and is used by many for braiding. This is sold in both certified organic and naturally grown. No limit.
