River Lea House LLC

I'm a retired pharmaceutical marketer and after 37 year, I  moved from "Pharma to Farming".  My family and I live in a 190 year old home in the middle of an old milking farm in Branchburg, NJ.  As I moved toward retirement, I wanted to look for things to do in retirement, and gentleman farming was a thought.   Being in marketing for 20 years, I looked around at local markets to see what was missing and I noticed not many were selling garlic and the ones that were, it was relatively small.  As I looked more into the feasibility of garlic as a crop,  I found that garlic's health benefits made it a focus for me.

We sell products related to garlic and then some. Garlic bulbs, peeled and freeze dried, healthy black garlic, spices, pickled garlic (Garlickles®), hummus’s, pesto’s, garlic sprays, specialty butters such as Garlic butter and VutterTM (a vegan alternative to butter), sunchokes and sun dried tomatoes.  Our goal is to create products  sourced from our farm, then New Jersey, then the US and finally growers I know and trust. We look for New Jersey or US fresh that is  healthy and without chemicals or preservatives. Products that are farm to table whether on your home table or a night out at a great restaurant. We grow our products the organic method with no pesticides and use only natural fertilizers. Our products are available on  line or fresh products, locally on a retail basis.  They are also available wholesale.  Please contact us for wholesale prices.

Our goal is to bring fresh NJ grown garlic and garlic related products to the market and move people away from the many months old Chinese garlic in most supermarkets.  80% of garlic in the supermarket is Chinese.  Look at the roots, if the root base is dug out....its most likely Chinese.   I also love teaching people about garlic, from how to grow, proper ways to cook with it and share great recipes. We source first from our farm, then New Jersey, then the US. In not, then only reputable growers we trust,  From our farm to your table whether at home or your favorite restaurant.
