Grey Duck Garlic
We Sell Organic Gourmet Culinary Garlic and Organic Seed Garlic for Gardeners and Growers
We are finished selling for the season. Have fun planning your garden for next spring!
At Grey Duck Garlic growing and cooking gourmet organic garlic is our passion. All our varieties are great tasting and easy to grow for the home gardener, commercial grower, and chef. Gourmet garlic bulbs have a much wider range of flavor than supermarket garlic.
We only grow hardneck and softneck garlic varieties that have been extensively tested and tasted by our family so we can offer you great tasting healthy garlic.
Our organic garlic is all natural and carefully planted, cultivated, harvested, cleaned and inspected by hand.

We are a family farm that lovingly grows and sells USDA certified organic garlic (WSDA Organic Certification #1883). Growing organically is better for us, the land, and the flavor of our garlic bulbs.
Grey Duck Garlic uses sustainable growing practices. Since we live in a dry climate with limited water reserves, we grow dryland organic garlic (we do not irrigate our garlic). We believe that the best tasting garlic comes from thoughtful and respectful production.
