Gusto Garlic provides seed garlic to organic farms requiring certified organic seed garlic as well as to small farms and gardeners wishing to grow their own garlic.  Some notes about our seed garlic:

  • Gusto Garlic is T3 transitional to full organic certification.  Our seed garlic will meet the requirements of organic suppliers requiring organic seed garlic, but you may wish to double check with your certifying agency or contact us.
  • We select our seed garlic to be representative of the characteristics that you might expect from your planting. 
  • We scrutinize our plots and product to ensure that their is no evidence of disease or abnormal conditions.  If we suspect disease or mold in a product, we will not ship product from that plot.  We have not had any major incident of disease on our farm, and our garlic is not planted in the same plot for 4 years to ensure the highest quality.
  • Our site is intended to provide support for the small to large garlic farmer and to help you grow great garlic.  Our price includes free consultation or advice on any issues that you may encounter.
  • We invite you to contribute your constructive comments to our website.  By sharing our experiences, we can help each other avoid some of the pitfalls and heart aches associated with farming.

Please note that we are unable to accept further orders at this time until we reconcile our remaining inventory.  Feel free to contact us in the meantime if you are looking for garlic seed and we will do our best to respond to your particular needs.

Porcelain Garlic

Gusto Russian Red Porcelain (No more product avaiable)


Gusto Russian Red originally came from Gabriola Garlic and has become one of our popular varieties. Though bulb size can vary, bulbs up to 2.5 inches in diameter are common. This garlic is a little on the milder side compared with some of the hard necks, but is still high in flavor. It is very popular for its clove size as several cloves usually provide an ample amount of garlic.

Although the origin is not precisely known we believe this porcelain garlic to be a Russian Red. It is a great west coast producer with very large bulbs; somewhat milder but still zesty. Some prefer this for Caesar salads and other recipes requiring raw garlic.
