Gusto:  "An individual or special taste"

 

Gusto Garlic was founded in 2006 by Al & Donna Kozak when we grew our first test crop of 15 bulbs.  Our first harvests were a huge success and our 2011 crop size has expanded to approximately 7,500 garlic plants consisting of 10 different varieties. Our garlic crop this year was late, but the garlic has been very successful.  We sell our garlic locally at farmers markets and retail outlets.  Seed garlic can be obtained directly from the farm or can be ordered on this website.

Our beautiful 17 acre farm; Duende Farm, is located in Maple Ridge on the original site of one of BC’s first farms in the Fraser Valley.  Our garlic and mixed vegetable fields were certified organic effective May 2010. 

Each variety of garlic is known as a cultivar and has been developed from a natural species and maintained under cultivation.  This year we have planted ten different cultivars consisting primarily of hardneck varieties for our production crop and one soft neck variety.  

We invite suppliers or customers to visit our farm at any time to see our farming operation and the way we grow great garlic.
