Seed Garlic and Shallots from Adaptive Seeds come directly from our farm and from a few of our farmer friends who are trusted, experienced growers. We choose only clean bulbs that meet our standards for size and quality, and we inspect each bulb both on intake and prior to shipment to help ensure planting cloves are good. In addition to our own Adaptive Seeds grown garlic and shallots, we are excited to offer certified organic seed garlic produced by Persephone Farm in Lebanon, Oregon; Myrtle Creek Farm in partnership with Garlicana in Douglas County, Oregon, Sauvie Island Growers in Portland, Oregon, and Deschutes Canyon Garlic in Redmond, Oregon. Take a peek at the individual product pages to see where each variety was grown! Garlic and shallots are easy to grow staple crops that do best when planted September through November in our part of Oregon (and throughout most of the rest of the US, too!)
