GOURMET GARLIC BULBS TO PLANT AND EAT
@keenegarlic
@farmfolkandforestschool is located in Sauk county just outside of La Valle. Children come from the area and spend each day in a fully outdoor program.
“We perform farm chores together, grow all our own food and prepare a homestead farm to fork meal together each day. We have been growing garlic for the past five years. Our favorite variety to grow is probably German Extra Hardy!”
Check out a snippet from their ode to garlic 👇
“Those who lack experience growing garlic will assume you’re some sort of superstar homesteader. Garlic looks exotic and fancy although in reality it’s one of the very easiest things to grow. Don’t worry though, garlic won’t sell you out or fact check you in front of your friends. She’ll let you take all the glory and all the credit for her beauty and abundance. She’s an easy keeper, an optimist and independent. If you’re not hanging out with this girl on the regular, I suggest you get to know her.”

In honor of Parent Appreciation Day, we would like to recognize our amazing sons, Aaron and Bruce! These two have been an integral part of Keene Garlic and have supported us so much over the years.
Aaron, seen here in a throwback picture, used to ride his bike to the farmers` market after school throughout high school. Now, he`s using the money he earned to pay for his college tuition! Even while in college, Aaron continues to support Keene Garlic by packaging all of our fertilizer to help cover his tuition costs.
Bruce, our IT Manager, plays a crucial role behind the scenes, ensuring our business and website run smoothly. When he`s not behind the computer, he`s hands-on with harvesting garlic, packing orders, and much more!
We are incredibly proud of Aaron and Bruce and grateful for all they do to keep Keene Garlic thriving. ❤️
If you need any tips on curing, we`re here to help! 🧄
Curing garlic is essential for preserving its flavor and extending its shelf life. After harvesting, make sure to hang your garlic in a warm, dry, and well-ventilated space for 2-3 weeks. This process helps the skin dry out, allowing the cloves to develop a protective outer layer. Properly cured garlic can last for 6-12 months or longer!

It`s garlic harvest time in Wisconsin!!! 🧄🧄🧄
This harvest is from our neighbors @upbeetfarmllc. We`re so thankful to be part of such a beautiful community of garlic growers, both locally and across the country.
Garlic harvest is a special time of year that brings us all together, as we appreciate the beautiful transformations of single cloves into big, healthy bulbs. We have patiently planted, watered, weeded, and fertilized, and now we finally get to harvest and enjoy our homegrown garlic.
Being part of this community means we get to enjoy garlic that is not only fresher and more flavorful but also grown with love and care. ❤️
Satoko grew our Music garlic for the first time this year and made a beautiful braid with flowers from the garden!! 🧄🪻
The idea for this project came from a book called "Designing with Dried Flowers" by Hannah Muller that recently came out.
We LOVE to see our customers` creativity — in the garden, kitchen, and beautiful projects like this. If you`d like more resources on braiding garlic, there are so many blogs and tutorials online to help you!

We love using mustard as a cover crop after we harvest our garlic! This step is optional, but we find that it greatly improves our soil health and leads to healthier garlic bulbs! A mustard cover crop captures nitrogen in the soil, increases organic matter, improves soil aeration, and reduces wind and water erosion. This process gets our soil nicely prepped for the next planting cycle. 👍

After 8 long months, the garlic has been harvested! @gardenlikemypapou grew 4 different types of @keenegarlic and they all look great! (Music and German Extra Hardy produced the biggest bulbs this year.) Time to let it cure and it will be ready in a few weeks. This Greek household will be eating well!!

Question of the Week: How should I cure my garlic?
✔ out of direct sunlight
✔ temperatures between 80°F and 110°F
✔ humidity between 45 to 50%
✔ constant airflow with fans
✔ 3-4 weeks
Every region is different in terms of temperature and humidity at this time of year, so we should all just do the best we can to get within these ranges. You don`t have to be perfect, and there are so many ways to effectively cure garlic.

A beautiful harvest of German Extra Hardy from Jessica 🧄
We’re so proud to see how big her bulbs got, especially for her first time ever growing garlic! Jessica told us that now garlic is one of her favorite things to grow, and she can’t wait to plant more this fall ❤️
P.S. Remember to pre-order for fall planting! “Fall garlic bulbs” link in bio 👆
An absolutely GORGEOUS harvest from Riah @flyingpenguinfarm!! 🧄
This variety is Inchelium Red, and she still has 8 more varieties that aren`t quite ready to harvest yet. Riah grows garlic (and flowers) in Illinois, but her hometown is Madison, WI!
One of the best parts about running this business is connecting with garlic lovers, near and far. We love being part of this garlic-loving community. ❤

Amish Rocambole
The first picture shows Amish Rocambole being grown in zone 4b near Wausau, WI. It`s nice and hardy, growing exceptionally well in cold regions. Based on the thickness of the stalk, it looks like we will have jumbo-sized bulbs! This has a robust heirloom garlic flavor with easy-to-peel cloves.
Korean Red
The second picture shows Korean Red, also being grown in zone 4b near Wausau, WI. This garlic is known for having an absolutely wonderful flavor. One of our longtime customers did a taste test at her farmers market of ten different garlic varieties she grew, and Korean Red was voted one of the best tasting. Her customers said it had a citrusy zingy flavor! This garlic is wonderful roasted and is a must-try in your garden. It looks like these are about 3 weeks out from harvest, as Korean Red usually harvests a bit later than other varieties.
