We are a small business located in Dunsandel, South Island, New Zealand producing a limited amount of high quality gourmet seed garlic bulbs.

The seed bulb varieties that will be for sale this year are New Zealand Purple, Russian Red,Spanish Rojo and a small amount of Silverskin garlic.

We grow all our garlic in raised garden beds filled with 100% organic matter.

New Zealand Purple garlic will be the first to be harvested in early November. Harvest time for Russian Red garlic is usually in early December.

New Zealand Purple comes from the Turban family. Bulbs are very colourful with the minimum diameter of 60mm and containing 5 or more large cloves.

Russian Red garlic that we grow are from the Marbled Purple Stripe variety and have bulbs of 50mm or larger containing 4 or 5 very big cloves.

Our Spanish Red (Ajo Rojo) is cultured from the Creole garlic variety with 50mm or larger bulbs with vibrant red coloured cloves.

Sliverskin garlic is the only soft neck seed garlic that we grow and is well suited for the unpredictable New Zealand climate. Developes nice sized bulbs with a mix of both small and large cloves. The seed bulbs that are for sale this year will be 55mm or larger with at least 6 plantable cloves and some smaller ones that can be used for culinary purposes.
