Garlic, the Gift That Keeps on Giving, Year After Year.

Gourmet Garlic Varieties for Sale

As mentioned above, we are now operating as a garlic gardeners market for garlic gardeners across the country. Each grower is responsible for their own produce and their own prices and their own customer relations. Gourmetgarlicgardens.com serves only as a popular meeting place where grower and buyer can find each other and a cashier of convenience to both buyer and seller. The gourmet garlic cultivars listed below appear likely be available from our growers this year based on current crop outlooks. You might want to try several different kinds from several different growers. Go ahead and experiment.

If you would like a picture and/or detailed description of any of these garlics, just click on the name of the variety.
Our garlic is sold by the pound with a minimum order of one pound.


Size and Availability


The orders placed first will be shipped first and with the best available bulbs of each variety ordered.

We will keep this list updated so that if we sell out of any variety, it will be removed from the list.

Limited availability of some varieties may necessitate Substitution if you tell us it's OK to when you place your order,
But we'll try to get you an equivalent alternative but we won't substitute if you tell us not to when you place your order.

Pricing - Prices subject to change without notice.

All growers determine their own prices, we don't tell anyone what to charge for their own produce. Like all growers everywhere, they are free to change their prices as they see fit but once a customer orders garlic at a particular price, the grower may not increase it for that particular sale, only subsequent sales.
If you want don't see what you want, E-Mail us and ask us - you might be surprised at what we can get, grow or find.

See below for shipping rates.

Garlic Selections

- Weather-related crop damage greatly limited garlic availability the last three years
but 2010 looks to be much better. -

We are now accepting orders for shipping in late summer/early fall.

The list below is typical of what we have for sale in 2010 and will change as availability of each kind changes - we have been adding and subtracting varieties all season long. I try to keep these lists fairly current so that they can be used as a realistic guide to what growers have in stock. Sometimes we sell out and before I can change this list someone places an order for a garlic we no longer have but we try very hard to avoid that.

Our secure shopping cart/card processing gateway charges all cards at the time of the sale and we can't change that. That's good for our customers because the earliest paid orders get the best selection. The last few years there have been shortages caused by weather-related crop failures all over the country and sometimes only the early orders got filled. Early payment gives you your best opportunity to get the best bulbs of the varieties you want.

Pre-paying your order early does not guarantee a grower will have the garlic you have asked but it does assure you an early place in line if there is any of the garlic you ordered. Sometimes unforseeable things happen and we can't get a garlic you have ordered, then we will let you choose between a substitute or a refund.

If you find this unworkable for you, you can wait until late summer/early fall to place your order for immediate shipping and you will probably get what you want anyway but a lot of people will have picked ahead of you. You can also use the secure shopping cart to print out a mail order or a telephone order.
Once you place an order with us the system will remember your name, address, etc. so you won't have to re-type it when you place future orders.

I receive a copy of all telephone and mail orders the shopping cart prints for customers.

Getting the garlics you want can be an uncertain thing and we try to improve your odds of getting what you want.

We will be adding and deleting and changing the status of varieties often as we sell out our stocks and add more varieties (We always sell out) so check back regularly to see what we currently list as available.

If you don't see what you want, check back again, we may have it later - we receive garlic in from growers continually.
Or, E-Mail bob@web-access.net

Clicking on a garlic name will give you a color picture and/or complete description of that specific garlic and a shopping cart to buy it.

Elephant Garlic Cloves (the Great-Headed Garlic Leek)

99. Elephant Garlic - Sorry, Sold Out for 2009. -

After ordering, use your back arrow key to return to this point, otherwise the secure shopping cart will return you to our home page.

- Order Now for shipment in late summer/early fall 2009. -

Elephant garlic is sold as whole bulbs early in the season and later on as loose individual cloves without the basal plates and hardneck stubs as they add useless weight and elephant garlic naturally separates that way anyway - $18. per pound.

All weights and sizes are approximate, not guaranteed, since all garlic shrinks in size and loses weight with storage - It weighed over a pound when it left here.

Various Sampler Assortments

Not everyone wants to buy a whole pound of every kind of garlic, so we have put together some sampler assortments in order for you can try several different kinds of garlic in a pound. Bulbs in the Assorted variety packs will be slightly smaller bulbs, so we can give the customer the most varieties. You get more different kinds with a two or three pound order, depending on availability.
