Swallowtail Farm is a family farm. For more than 12 years we have been committed to growing the finest garlic, for planting (seed garlic) or culinary purposes (table or eating garlic). We also offer delicious garlic dips, spreads, pesto, garlic powders and spice blends. We have Black Garlic, dehydrated Garlic Slices and we typically grow 7 varieties of hardneck garlic.
Swallowtail Farm takes great pride in growing excellent garlic, free from all pesticides and herbicides. While not Certified Organic, we use organic farming practices. It is that excellence and attention to its cultivation that has earned us awards of excellence.
