Susanville Certified Organic Garlic Bulbs

Description

Susanville Certified Organic Garlic Bulbs

Susanville Certified Organic Garlic Bulbs are a classic California heirloom artichoke variety, prized for their early maturation, reliable yields, and exceptional storage life. Originating from the mountainous regions of Northern California, this premium seed garlic is incredibly versatile—producing hefty, well-formed bulbs in warm southern climates while remaining remarkably adaptable and hardy for northern growers. Susanville produces large bulbs with tight, bright white wrappers that are perfect for making beautiful garlic braids. In the kitchen, it offers a traditional, mellow, and full-bodied garlic flavor without being overwhelmingly pungent, making it perfect for roasting, pickling, or blending into smooth spreads. Because it adapts well to various soil conditions and yields numerous easy-to-peel cloves, it is an essential, high-yielding “workhorse” variety for home cooks, market gardeners, and bulk buyers who value consistency and long-storing quality.

Note:

Garlic is an agricultural crop that is subject to crop loss due to conditions beyond our control. This can even occur in the curing stage. We check each bulb before shipping them to you. If there are any quality issues, we may need to substitute a similar variety. We rarely need to do this, but it does occasionally happen. As always, we want to you to receive great garlic, so please leave a comment when ordering to let us know how you would like to proceed if a substitution is necessary.
