The Davis Family Farm - Sam and Sue Davis The Davis Family Farm is located in southwest Washington in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge. The Davis Family Farm is uniquely situated where "The wet meets the dry." We look east from our place to arid hills with scattered White Oak and west to the Cascade foothills clad with Douglas Fir. My wife, Sue and I purchased the farm in 2004 and have been busy cleaning up, building, farming and raising two young kids since. We are committed to farming naturally. Our fertility program is based on introducing copious amounts of organic matter - leaves from state parks, old hay and manure, etc. We utilize our small pig operation to "hog down" our green manure crops such as peas, barley, soybeans, etc., creating tremendous fertility for the following years crop and some very tasty pork as well. We continue to plant more garlic in more varieties every year and now are looking for markets outside our local area. We hope you, too, can experience the joys of growing your own garlic.

Important notes for credit/debit card users:
This Farmers market is like your local farmers market.
For those who don't want to take the time to place a separate order with each grower, we will do it for you if you wish. Just order what you want from as many growers as you want on a single order and when we process the order we will charge your card the necessary additional S & H charges plus a service fee of $10.00 for each separate grower involved due to the excess clerical work entailed. If you buy from a grower and later cancel that order for any reason, the credit card processing gateway still charges Gourmet Garlic Gardens the full processing fee plus an additional fee of the same amount for processing the cancellation and also it places an additional clerical burden on us so, regretably, we must charge a 15% cancellation fee when processing the cancellation because that's about what it costs us. My advice is to look around among the various growers and decide what to buy from whom and then place your orders and stick with the growers you have chosen.

How Our Garlics are Grown All the garlic for sale in our online farmers market was grown without the use of petrochemical pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers; only natural and non-toxic fertilizers and pest control methods are used. Some of our growers are Certified Organic and some are Certified Naturally Grown, which we regard as equal to Certified Organic in every meaningful way but without all the bureaucratic entanglements. All our farmers market growers grow organically and some are Certified Organic but not all want to be certified Organic because of the paperwork and reporting requirements and are among the best available sources of sustainable/ organic Garlic and they become Certified Naturally Grown, where the regulation comes from their fellow members rather than a federal bureacracy. We do not allow growers who use synthetic petroleum-based fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides or herbicides to participate in our farmers market.
All garlic in our farmers market is grown in the USA, no imports allowed.
