Our Story
We’re Duane and Dave—two longtime friends, garlic lovers, and Western Mass locals who turned a shared passion for garlic growing into The Garlic Guys.
What started as a few rows of garlic bulbs for planting in the backyard, quickly became something bigger, as we realized just how much joy (and flavor) garlic could bring to the garden, the kitchen, and the community.
We are now proudly offering the following varieties of garlic:
- Elephant Garlic
- Montana Giant Garlic
- Music Garlic
- German Garlic (Extra Hardy)
- Roja Garlic
- All-Purpose Kitchen Garlic
Over the years, we’ve learned how to grow hardy, high-quality seed garlic that thrives in New England soil. We’re proud to do it all right here in Westhampton, Massachusetts—planting by hand, harvesting with care, and always focusing on freshness, sustainability, and the kind of quality we’d want in our own gardens.
Whether you're a backyard grower or a small farm, we’re here to help you grow something great with our seed garlic for sale nationwide!

Garlic Planting in Fall
Seed garlic is easy-to-grow and thrives in well-drained soil with full sun.
In most northern climates, like Western Massachusetts, plant individual garlic cloves in mid-to-late October, about two inches deep and six inches apart, with the pointed end facing up.
Heavily mulch to protect from Winter frost and suppress weeds. In Spring, remove any scapes (flower stalks) to help garlic bulbs grow larger.
Water regularly until early July, then stop once the leaves begin to yellow. Harvest when the lower leaves are brown and four-to-five green leaves remain. Cure for two-to-three weeks in a dry, airy space, out of direct sun.
