Afternoon Zephyr Farm Soil improvement is currently a major emphasis at Afternoon Zephyr Farm. In 2006 Kent and his wife, Hueylee, moved to their farm near Rogue River, Oregon and began removing overgrown Christmas trees to make room for a place to grow garlic and other food. The garlic culture has proven very helpful in enriching the soil. We plant with compost and mulch with leaves and straw. The organic matter and garlic roots work wonders on the soil structure and biology. We believe in natural, sustainable farming and have become Certified Naturally Grown. We work to produce nutrient dense food using soil balancing by the Albrecht method and Korean Natural Farming methods originated by Han Kyu Cho. Kent wrote an article in "In Good Tilth" magazine July/August 2010 issue about Natural Farming. Our climate is "Mediterranean". This climate favors softnecks but we have some hardneck varieties that do very well with the warm winters. We have over 20 cultivars of garlic but sell only those that do well for us and that we think will do well for you. Our work with the soil and the climate makes our garlic a good choice for either planting in most of the country or eating in all of it. Please give it a try, you'll like it so much you won't want to go back to common white garlic ever again. Back to Afternoon Zephyr Farm Table of Contents

How to buy from us: Scroll down and select the number of pounds you want and click on "Add to Cart" on all those you want to buy. Order now for shipment in late summer/early fall 2012. The garlic prices range from $16 to $24 per pound plus shipping and handling charges of $10 for the first pound, $2 for each of the next three pounds and $1 extra for each additional pound over that and we ship via U. S. Postal Service, Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation, to make sure you get your package. Our S & H charge is a weighted national average so that all buyers pay the same S & H regardless of distance from grower. These S & H fees apply to each grower you buy from. This Farmers market is like your local farmers market. When using your credit/debit card to buy direct from different growers, a separate order is required for each grower. You may buy as many different kinds of garlic as you want from any grower on any order but each grower requires a separate credit card transaction so that S & H charges may be properly calculated. If you want to order garlic from more than one grower, a separate payment must be made to each grower because they are independant businesses in different places. 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 but there will be a service fee. 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 - there's lot of clerical work involved.

Important notes for credit/debit card users: This Farmers market is like your local farmers market. When using your credit/debit card to buy direct from different growers, a separate order is required for each grower. You may buy as many different kinds of garlic as you want from any grower on any order but each grower requires a separate credit card transaction so that S & H charges may be properly calculated.

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. Disclaimer Each grower/vendor is responsible for their own garlic and prompt shipping to the buyer. Gourmet Garlic Gardens is not responsible for any garlic sent directly from any grower/vendor to any buyer and serves only as a virtual meeting place and credit/debit card processor for the convenience of both grower and buyer. Gourmet Garlic Gardens' total liability from all causes is limited to refunding the monies the buyer has charged against their card using Gourmet Garlic Gardens as a payment processor for any specific transaction with any particular grower/vendor. Prices and availability of garlic subject to change without notice.

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. This farmers market is strictly for small-scale American market gardeners/growers who live and grow sustainably..
