Minnesota Garlic Festival

Thank You!

Thanks to our customers and everyone who came out to visit us at the 2023 Minnesota Garlic Festival in Hutchinson last weekend! It was great to catch up with fellow growers, see how everyone’s crops turned out, and learn about your plans and ideas for going forward.

We also want to let everyone know that the 2023 Upper Midwest Premium Garlic Directory is now live! You can check it out here. This site showcases Sustainable Farming Association garlic growers across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Nebraska. It will let you know where they are, which garlic varieties are still in stock, and how to get in contact with growers.

The 2023 garlic harvest is in! Plus – new varieties

Group harvesting garlic

As of today, our harvest is in, and we’re officially ready to start taking pre-orders for garlic! This year we’re offering six varieties for sale: our four originals – Chesnok Red, German Red, Inchelium, and Belarus, and two newer varieties – German Porcelain and Bavarian. We’ll also be selling our Culinary Variety Packs as well. Check out our store to find out more.

Curious about our new varieties? Some of our customers may have noticed that we started offering Bavarian and German Porcelain in our shop last season A few years ago, we tried these two varieties, decided we liked their unique flavors, and began growing them. Now, we’ve finally built up enough stock to start selling them to the public. Bavarian garlic is especially good for roasting (see our recipe here), and German Porcelain is sure to spice up your fresh salsas. Both are available in culinary and seed sizes.

If you just can’t get enough garlic, come visit us at the Minnesota Garlic Festival in Hutchinson on August 12th! This post from last year explains the festival in more detail, or you can go straight to the official website with the link included below. Hope to see you there!
