Mexican Purple Stripe SORRY SOLD OUT
This is a medium to large bulb with big easy to use cloves, it often has a distinctive light purple outside with subtle white stripes but not always. It often has a cone shape to it. A pleasant taste that is mid range strength. Growers tip: big bulbs, defined purple stripes – looks great on the table as a show piece, flavour is good too.
Californian Late ‘USA’
A garlic lover’s best mate. USA has a very hot, strong taste. This one will grow practically anywhere. USA has a distinct purple splash especially when grown in cool climates. These bulbs will last for at least 6 months after harvest. Growers note: “…it’s a pretty ugly bulb, but the intense flavour will blow you away. I defy anyone to eat this raw without tears welling in your eyes…” Give it a go… 
Printinor (a white mandarin-like bulb) SORRY SOLD OUT
This is the preferred garlic of quality chef’s. It is easy to peel, has big cloves, smooth skin and has a nice strong garlic flavour. It looks good and grows easily. It is great for all garlic uses.
CRISPY GARLIC CRUSH. – Posted in smart re-sealable bags
Each re-sealable bag contains over 100 cloves of super strong garlic. Long shelf life. $10.
Crispy Garlic Crush* This is a secret recipe but what we can tell you is we break the bulbs into cloves, then they’re fed into our garlic crusher, (crushing releases the health giving anti-bodies). Then it’s dried naturally. The end product is a jar of crispy garlic flakes that are perfect for garlic bread, sprinkled on soup, on top of baked potatoes, on mushrooms with a dob of butter and sprinkled raw on salads. This allows you to eat the finest Australian grown Garlic all year round. Customers Quote “My eye specialist told me to eat certain foods because of the elements in it, so I ate Simon’s garlic crush, it fixed my eye problems in a few weeks.”

Our own garlic cold-smoked to perfection in oak and fruit tree wood just as it was in France a few hundred years ago. Traditional smoked garlic. A gourmet delight.
Oriental Purple SORRY SOLD OUT
A smallish bulb, nice medium strength flavour. Asian origins. Used in Asian cooking. Grows well in australia.
Rose Du Var ‘French’ SORRY SOLD OUT
This variety was introduced to Australia via France. The Rose du Var name is believed to be associated with its attractive silverskin and rose to red coloured cloves. The depth of colour depends upon the growing conditions. This garlic produces a medium to small bulb with a punchy taste that is strong and hot. Growers tip: Foodies love this stuff.
Rojo De Castro ‘Cuban Purple’ SORRY SOLD OUT
Introduced to Australia via Spain, not Cuba. Smaller bulb size. Purple cloves. The name is believed to be associated with Fidel Castro and as a result is often marketed as ‘Cuban Purple’. This is a fine cultivar with sweet rich character and minimal heat. It grows well in hot climates where others struggle.” Growers tip: Chef’s use this whole and has purple cloves a good talking point.
Blanco ‘Spanish White’ SORRY SOLD OUT
This variety introduced direct from Spain. This one has porcelain white skins, nice big cloves with a tinge of pink or purple, a sweeter milder garlic and with a great taste. Limited stocks; more available next season. Growers tip: long lasting rock-hard, good flavour.
Russian Pink SORRY SOLD OUT
This is a true Russian garlic (not ‘elephant garlic’) These bulbs have lovely white skins over a medium size bulb, with cloves individually wrapped in pink skins. Medium to strong flavour. Growers tip: you must pre-order to get this – limited stocks
Giant Russian Garlic (Elephant Garlic ) SORRY SOLD OUT
russian garlic
The big one. This grows huge and has a lovely mauve ball flower on the end of a 7ft stalk. This produces a mild garlic flavoured big white bulb. Russian garlic is actually a leek. Many garlic growers in tropical areas grow this one and sell it as garlic. We’ve grown bulbs of this that get to the size of a football. Grower’s tip: If you’re not living in a tropical area grow one of the other varieties they have much better flavour. But it looks superb as an ornamental garden feature.
