At East Ridge Farms we specialize in growing Gourmet Organic Garlic bulbs, umbels/bulbils and scapes. We grow our garlic using organic practices in permanent raised bed rows... no herbicides, pesticides or chemical/synthetic fertilizers are ever used. We amend our soil with things like compost, composted mushroom manure (from a local farm), bone meal, and/or seaweed depending on what our plants require. Every aspect of growing our garlic, from cracking the bulbs to planting the cloves, weeding, harvesting, cleaning and curing the bulbs, is DONE BY HAND. Due to the way we grow and store our garlic, our garlic has a very long shelf life... it tastes like its fresh out of the ground well into December and even January! It has been said by a few of our customers that our garlic is the best they've ever tasted! Try some... you'll luv it!

Characteristics of Red Russian Garlic: Red Russian hardneck garlic has an average of 4-5 cloves per bulb. It is a cold hearty garlic that can put up with soggy BC winters as long as it is planted in raised beds. It produces a scape that emerges in mid June which can be eaten or allowed to grow to maturity into umbel/bulbils (bulbils can be eaten or planted). Our strain stores well and when harvested in July/August will store until December/January under proper conditions. Red Russian garlic should be planted in the fall. There are two types of Red Russian garlic: the rocambole type and the marbled purple stripe type... I believe ours is of the marbled purple stripe variety.

What does Red Russian Garlic Taste Like?: Red Russian garlic is a medium to hot garlic that sweetens when baked. It has a very "full bodied" flavor and it is sure to please the most discerning of garlic connoisseurs. It is a great all round garlic that is excellent when baked in the oven, used as a garlic for garlic bread, used in recipes, soups, stews, roasts and more! Your imagination is the limit.
