Welcome to Hood River Garlic!
This page last updated on September 24th,2020.
As promised, there are more varieties becoming available as we are getting the garlic cleaned and weighed. We apologize for the shortage of garlic this year, but due to Covid-19, it appears that everyone is staying at home and planting garlic in their gardens! Garlic orders placed now will be shipped starting the third week of October. We had a shortage of Porcelains and Marbled Purple Stripes this year due to a healthy gopher population. So we will be substituting Chesnok Red for any orders of Porcelain and Marbled Purple Stripes that we can’t fill. Sorry for the substitutions but the Chesnok Red is Gorgeous!
This years harvest was our 20th garlic harvest! Thank you to all of our fabulous customers making it possible for us to provide you with fabulous Certified Organic Seed Garlic and culinary garlic. Stay safe everyone!
Specializing in certified organic garlic seed for planting garlic in your own garden, Hood River Garlic is a certified organic garlic farm located in the beautiful Hood River Valley, Oregon, USA. We take great pride in growing garlic and strive to sell our customers the best organic garlic seed available. Dedicated to environmental sustainability we have always been organic and became Certified Organic by the Oregon Tilth in May, 2002. This is our 18th year being Certified Organic! All Hood River Garlic is grown in The Columbia River Gorge, from U.S.A. grown organic garlic seed stock.
Please note: Substitutions- Farming is very unpredictable. We do our best to provide premium quality organic seed garlic. We try to manage our inventory as best as possible, but sometimes there may be shortages of certain garlic varieties. If a shortage occurs we will have to make a substitution. We will make the substitution as close as possible to the original garlic variety ordered. If there is not a proper substitution, we will contact you with a selection of comparable varieties. Thank you for your understanding.
All garlic ships starting in mid September and is shipped through October and November. We plant our garlic in the fall and harvest in July. All garlic has a shelf life clearly stated in the Garlic description. If a garlic has a shelf life of 6 months, it is not possible for us to ship it in April. Please read the garlic descriptions. All of our garlic is shipped starting in September, if you order now (Sept 24th), it will ship the third week of October. Thanks! Hood River Garlic

Testimonials
Hi TerriI’ve ordered garlic before from your company and it is high quality, I was very pleased with what was sent. I like to try a wide variety to see what works best here, not only for growing but for storage.
Hi Terri! We love y’all’s garlic – the softnecks we get always grow quite well here. We had a very weird, early harvest season for the garlic here. It’s been very wet, so it grew really well very quickly. – I’m glad we’ve got a great company like Hood River to order from. Thanks again!
I am in love with all my garlic plants. My facebook friends are probably sick of hearing how much we have been enjoying our scape pesto. When I was getting slim on garlic scapes I also added radish leaves and horseradish leaves to help it go a long ways. We know the best still is yet to come, I look forward every year to grow my varieties and to buy a few more new ones from you.
Up until today, we had no bare ground around our little piece of earth. Temps in the 60s made a difference and the world is awash with water. We loved the garlic we got from you. It produced very well with great quality, and we are looking forward to this years crop!
