You Can Flavor Our Garlic With Your Food®

OUR STORY

I'm a retired pharmaceutical marketer, and after 37 years, 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 and scraggly. 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.

I’ve always loved garlic. Living in the San Francisco Bay area in the 80’s, I fell in love with garlic, due part to the Gilroy area plus the great Italian restaurants, especially with garlic bread made with San Francisco sourdough bread

I also love to cook and garlic is a major part of a tasty, healthy meal. Please check our recipes

OUR PRODUCTS

We sell products related to garlic and then some. Garlic bulbs, peeled and freeze-dried; healthy black garlic; spices; pickled garlic (Garlickles®); hummus; pesto’s, garlic sprays; specialty butters such as garlic butter and Vutter™ (a vegan alternative to butter); sunchokes; and sun-dried tomatoes. In September '19 we started brewing a black garlic "Fire Cider," which is selling well. 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 using the organic method with no pesticides and use only natural fertilizers. Our products are available online or as fresh products locally on a retail basis. They are also available wholesale. Please contact us for wholesale prices.

Unfortunately, we don’t sell the fresh products via the mail. For local delivery or pickup at farmers markets I attend, please go to NJGarlic.square.site. We delivery for free within a 25 mile radius of Flemington with a minimum order of $25
