Green Owl Garlic is a renowned grower specializing in various seed and culinary garlic. Situated in the picturesque and fertile farmland of Rhinebeck, New York, in the heart of the Hudson Valley, they have dedicated themselves to responsible and sustainable farming practices. Their commitment to producing high-quality garlic is evident in their chemical, pesticide, and herbicide-free approach, relying solely on natural methods such as crop rotation, compost, kelp/fish emulsion, green manure crops, and straw mulch. Each garlic plant is carefully tended to by hand, from planting to cultivation and harvest.

In addition to its meticulous farming practices, Green Owl Garlic prioritizes the purity of its seed by conducting regular Bloat Nematode tests, ensuring that its garlic is of the highest quality.

In a market where 80% of garlic in the U.S. is imported from China, Green Owl Garlic takes great pride in offering locally grown garlic. Their products, including seed and culinary garlic, are available at regional festivals, community markets, and through online channels. With a commitment to variety and excellence, they currently offer seven distinct types of hardneck garlic, catering to the diverse needs of their customers.
