About Orie’s Farm Fresh Garlic
All our garlic is grown on our 8 acre urban farm in Wichita, Kansas using regenerative practices (no chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides). We plant and harvest between ten to twenty thousand cloves/bulbs by hand annually and offer roughly 20 different varieties. Garlic is harvested each season in June.
Unlike a lot of conventional garlic you might find in grocery stores, our garlic is not treated with whitening or anti-sprouting chemicals.

Artichoke Type
This softneck type is known for its ease to grow and its dynamic flavor profiles. Artichokes store about 8 months from harvest, typically contain 10-20 cloves per bulb, and have more tightly adhered clove wrappers. Varieties within this type range from mild and light to strong and zingy.
Storing Garlic
The key to storing garlic successfully is air circulation. Whether garlic is still curing or is fully cured, good air circulation will maximize garlic’s storage life.
We keep the garlic we’re going to cook with in this antique colander on a shelf in our kitchen. An open basket, bowl or colander like this works wonderfully. Keep garlic on the kitchen counter or a nearby shelf or in the pantry.
Don’t keep garlic too closed up. If garlic can’t “breathe'“ well, its storage capability can vastly decrease.
Whatever you do, don’t put raw garlic in the fridge. Those cold temps cause premature sprouting and thereby shorten shelf life.
Average home temperatures work great for optimal garlic storage. Garlic can be kept cooler at around 50 degrees F for longterm storage.
