Our Garlic 2024
Here is our 2024 garlic update. While we love our basil, peppers and other veggies, garlic is the real reason that we decided to start this business at Hickory Flat Garlic Company. Our goal is to grow fresh, organic garlic right here in North Georgia. This season we are growing eight varieties of garlic.
