| Baby Garlic growing in Early Spring, as well as my Daughter, Indiana, who keeps growing also! |
| We also grow about 10-15 acres of organic hay, which we usually put back into the soil as mulch for the garlic. If we have a good harvest, we sometimes sell it as mulch hay. Contact us to check availability of Hay |

Our Operation
Our main variety of garlic that we sell is a stiff-neck (Porcelain Variety) known as Pennsylvania Extra Hearty. This is our own variety that we have developed over the years, and it originally came from a strain of German Extra Hearty. In my opinion, this is one of the finest tasting, easiest to peel, and best storing, of all the varieties that I've ever tried.

You can purchase our garlic, hay and produce from the farm by appointment only - Please call or e-mail for details.
We also hope to be selling our Garlic from August - October, at the Meadville Market House on Saturdays.
You can also purchase our products in season, from the Whole Foods Co-op in Erie, and the East End Food Co-op in Pittsburgh
We welcome wholesale and special orders, and home delivery is available if you wish to pay for transportation costs.
We will also do mail order if you really, really, really want our garlic, but you should buy locally if possible. Local food is better for you, and it helps our your local economy, and is better for the environment by reducing transportation waste.
Organic Christmas trees are available by appointment. We will cut them fresh for you and load them onto your vehicle. Our current inventory of trees are wild-grown but nice. They look a little "wilder" and more natural than typical Christmas. We have started a small plantation of regular trees, which will be ready in a few years. Contact us for details.
Help support Organic Agriculture in your area by purchasing locally Grown Organic Produce from Family Farms! I also recommend purchasing from local non-organic farms also, because buying local helps to build a healthy community.
