The Garlic Farm is a third-generation family business based on the Isle of Wight, in the middle of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. They grew their first garlic bulbs on the Isle of Wight over 50 years ago. The Garlic Farm produce and procure a huge variety of high-quality garlic and garlic inspired product including mayonnaise, chutney, and condiments. Their quest for flavour is probably best expressed by their unparalleled hot oak smoked garlic, which is simply glorious!
In October 2022 their 200 acre farm completed conversion to certified organic with the Soil Association. During their conversion process the farm team learned techniques on maintaining fertility and biological activity within soil. Integrating livestock within the garlic rotation is a cornerstone of their circular approach of keeping the garlic beds in good heart.
The Garlic Farm’s first crop of home-grown, certified organic garlic will be harvested in the summer of 2023. Moving toward certified organic for the remainder of the product range and menu items will be a longer process.
