At Tamarack Garlic Farm we provide a nice selection of garlic seed and eating garlic. For most growers, garlic seed is considered to be bulbs that are 2" in diameter or larger. We "grade" or size our bulbs in 5 different ranges. 1.5" is known as "Culinary" and great for cooking or making garlic powder or salts; 1.75" is considered "Eating" garlic and is great for garlic chefs and home cooking enthusiasts; we also have sizes of 2", 2.25" and 2.5" which are all considered garlic seed. If you are looking to buy garlic seed, make sure to let us know and we will get you the largest sizes remaining. As of today we still have around 900 lbs of nice sized garlic seed.
Our Garlic Seed is a high quality product that is sized above the average compared to other growers. When we grade the bulbs we slide them through a "sizing board" that has multiple nails spaced exactly 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25 and 2.5" apart. Bulbs are slid into the "v" and with a quick spin the smallest diameter (between the cloves) makes contact with the nails. So a "2 inch bulb" is a generous 2" +.
