About our garlic

  • Growing

    No pesticides or herbicides used when growing our garlic. We fertilise with our own worm tea and use sugar cane mulch for weed suppression.

  • Working the crop

    Sown, weeded & harvested lovingly by hand. The goodness comes from our rich soil.

  • The result

    Flavoursome Monaro Purple garlic! Make sure you crush it before using to create the Allicin for health benefits.

  • Think local, act global

    Our property on the Franklin River, Toora was a virtually treeless dairy farm. Since acquiring the land we’ve planted 6000+ grasses, shrubs and trees.

  • I want some

    Order online and you’ll receive a box via Australia Post. You may also find us at markets in Gippsland.

  • Storage

    Keep in a well ventilated area at low humidity. If one clove doesn't last the others will be fine (compartmentalisation).

Unfortunately, we won't be there as we've already completely sold out. But there will be many other garlic seller stalls.
