For the last four years, Earth Dharma Farm has only sold garlic through a local retailer. But as we have built up more stock, we are once again selling our quality organic seed garlic to the public!

Our garlic is certified organic by MOFGA, and is ultra low-risk for disease: UMaine tested it negative for major diseases for several consecutive years until it deemed the testing no longer necessary. We have our garlic and other alliums on a 4+ year field rotation, and we have not brought in outside garlic for 15 years.

One of the few softneck varieties that grows well in Maine. Does not produce scapes but, when stressed, as it often is in northern climates, it can grow bulbils in the lower part of the stalk, near the root. Beautiful, hardy garlic. Keeps very well.

Leningrad (Porcelain, hardneck)
Stacks Image 7327

Leningrad was originally collected in Belarus. Why this is a lesser known variety of porcelain, we don't know. It has beautiful, large bulbs, and a more complex heat than most porcelains. Boundary Garlic Farm says it stores longer than most porcelains.

We grew this out from bulbils acquired from Boundary Garlic Farm in British Columbia. They obtained it from Peter Sobol in Newfoundland, who said it had been grown there for 300-400 years. We can't verify that, but we can confidently say that Newfoundland Heritage has a divine, spicy-hot-sweet flavor when eaten raw.
