About the Farm
Background
For over three decades, an acre of land lay dormant, destined only to be mowed. After much negotiation, it was transformed into a vibrant farm. The journey began with reviving an old tiller and planting the first garlic bulbs, which were initially small and hesitant. Over the years, the garlic grew stronger and bolder, leading to the cultivation of over 80 varieties. The farm's story is one of persistence, resilience, and a deep passion for garlic.
Practices
The farm uses only certified organic methods to cultivate garlic, ensuring vibrant colors and fabulous flavors. The land, previously untouched, provides a fertile ground for growing high-quality garlic. Hand planting and hand picking are integral practices, emphasizing a meticulous and dedicated approach to farming.
The Rest
The farm boasts the largest selection of garlic varieties grown in Illinois. Visitors are encouraged to explore the wide array of gourmet, heritage, and rare garlic available on the farm's website. The farm's story is a testament to the dedication and love for garlic, making it a unique destination for garlic enthusiasts.
