King Island Garlic
"Good, clean food, that's what we're known for."
Grown in healthy living soil, under the clear sky and fresh air of King Island,
in the path of the Roaring 40's
Bass Strait, Tasmania
Wholesome tasty garlic of several varieties.
We grow our garlic using
NO pesticide or herbicide, NO fumigant, bleach or GMO
We believe in local food for everyone - if you’re not lucky enough to be here on King Island we can share a range of cultivars for your kitchen or garden.
Did you know there are eleven different known groups of garlic, each with hundreds of varieties to last through the year!
April 2018 Update - IT'S PLANTING TIME!
Storage tip: smaller bulbs of any particular variety will last longer than large ones of the same variety.

- Planting bulbs - Start your garlic garden with my King Island Collection - 'Garlic Gardeners Boutique Box'. Over a decade of garlic hunting, collecting, research, planting, weeding, planting, weeding. Six named bulbs selected from different cultivar groups - early, mid season and late storing, for you to grow and store fresh garlic all year. No more foreign fumigated garlic! Several box combinations are available from Feb in time for the planting season, with my notes on each variety.
