Interested in growing garlic but can't settle on which variety?  We'd love to introduce you into the wide world of garlic diversity with our garlic samplers.  We offer a few different options: 1/4 or 1/2 pound each of 4 varieties of garlic. Please note that the hardneck garlic varieties included may vary depending on availability. 

Each type represents a different facet of the garlic genome:

Bangkok - Bangkok is a Turban type hardneck garlic. Wide and squat bulbs of turban types are a unique shape. Plump cloves are sheathed in pink inside violet wrapped bulbs and cloves are plump with pink wrappers. Turban types mature nearly one month earlier than Silverskin types. Spicy heat with an earthy flavor. This variety was adapted from a selection made at a market in Bangkok, Thailand in the early 2000's. (only available in the Garlic Sampler)Hardneck Turban variety. Originally acquired at a market in the Thai capital, as a small white bulb with pale cloves but after a few seasons of adaptation became a large Turban with typical fat pink cloves inside violet wrapped bulbs. Spicy! Only available through our Sampler.

Chesnok - Purple Striped, Hardneck Type. In a prevalent Russian dialect, "Chesnok" means garlic, although this garlic originally hails from the village of Shvelisi in the Republic of Georgia.  It is an excellent producing, brilliant garlic. Long, crescent-shaped purple-hued cloves are covered by purple-striped bulb wrappers that glow with sparkles of golden glaze. Outstanding, uniquely spicy flavor raw. Holds flavor well when baked. Very long storing garlic. 8-12 cloves per bulb. 

German White - Porcelain Hardneck Type. German White is a wonderful type that we have grown for nearly 20 years here. This is our favorite garlic on the farm here on account of its very large cloves that peel easily. Bulbs are satin white over pink clove wrappers.  Most bulbs will have only 4-6 cloves, saving time in the kitchen.  Flavor is rich and bold with just the right amount of spiciness. 

Pyongyang  - Asiatic, Hardneck Type. Very pretty deep purple striping over white bulb wrappers with bronze to red cloves.  The cloves are tall and elongated and are easy to peel. Produces 4-8 large, easy to peel cloves per bulb. Raw Flavor is spicy and builds to a fiery intensity.  Baking and cooking mellows flavor to a nutty smoothness. The visual appeal, ease of peeling and robust flavor have endeared this variety to many growers who now treasure it as a favorite.
