Our Garlic 2023
Here is our 2023 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 seven varieties of garlic.
Music
Music Garlic cloves are hot when consumed raw, but when baked or cooked they sweeten out. Flavor can be described as good, sweet and pungent. Great everyday garlic for cooking.
