Frequently Asked Questions: Organic Hardneck Garlic

Q: How is your hardneck garlic grown?

A: We cultivate our garlic 100% organically in Acton, Ontario, using natural inputs like compost, manure, and straw mulch without synthetic fertilizers or chemical pesticides.

Q: Can I use RanaFarms garlic for fall seed planting?

A: Yes. Our hardneck garlic bulbs are hearty, robust, and well-acclimated to Ontario’s climate, making them an ideal seed choice for fall garden planting.

Q: What makes hardneck garlic different from softneck garlic?

A: Hardneck garlic produces a rigid central stalk, large, easy-to-peel cloves, and a deeper, richer, and more complex flavor compared to standard grocery store softneck varieties.

Q: How should I store whole garlic bulbs at home?

A: Store whole garlic bulbs in a cool, dry, dark place with good ventilation (like an open basket or mesh bag). Never store unpeeled garlic in plastic bags or inside the refrigerator.
