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.
