Size And Substitutions

Minimum order of any strain is 1/4 lb. This may equal one to three bulbs depending on the variety and when you order. We do place maximum limits on most strains to ensure that most of our customers can try the exotic strain of their choice. However, we do run out of many strains. When we do, we can usually find a similar substitute, so please check YES to “May We Substitute?” unless you are willing to wait until next year.

Garlic is shipped as whole bulbs. Most bulbs are 2” minimum diameter. However, if you order late in the season, (especially after August 1) you may receive 1 3/4” bulbs. Strains with large clove size will produce fine, healthy plants from 1 3/4” bulbs.

Shipping

We offer 4 shipping dates to fit your climatic and planting needs. 

These are: Early September, Mid-September, Early October, and Mid-October. 

You will choose your ship date when ordering. 

All shipping dates are approximate 2 week periods that we will ship your order. We usually begin shipping “Early Sept.” orders a few days before September 1st.

Please note that we ship garlic in the order in which the original order was received.  Therefore, if you order late (after Aug 1st) you can expect your garlic to be shipped towards the end of  your shipping date. 

NOTE that Midwest shipments may take 5 or more working days to arrive. East Coast shipments may take 8 working days.

Ideally you should check a ship date 2 to 3 weeks before the day you plan to begin planting !

We cannot ship garlic to Canada. Boundary Garlic, in British Columbia is a great source with many varieties to choose from for growers in Canada.

 

Shipping Information For Orders Placed by Mail or Email:

Returns and Refunds

We cannot absolutely guarantee our garlic will perform well for you.  There are too many variables in soil preparation and care, time of planting, and climate.  We do not recommend our garlic for extreme southern latitudes below approximately 32 degrees north latitude, such as southern Texas, and Hawaii.  We can tell you that we get a lot of letters from happy customers impressed with the quality of our handcrafted bulbs.

However, if you are unhappy with our bulb size or quality, we will gladly refund your money on the simple condition you return the garlic to us within 30 days of our shipment.  Our liability in such instances will be strictly limited to the actual cost of the garlic plus shipping charges.  We assume no liability for freeze damage to garlic shipped after October 15th nor for any kind of damage after you plant the garlic.
