Green Hills Farm Gippsland Garlic
Sustainably grown garlic - healthy for people and the planet
Garlic is good for humans
It's a healthy, flavoursome mainstay of most great global cuisines.
Our Gippsland garlic is both those things. It's also unbleached and unsprayed.

How do you like your garlic?
There's a 95% chance that the gleaming white garlic you grab in the supermarket was industrially grown in China or elsewhere.
Most likely, it's been:
-
irradiated to stop it sprouting
-
sprayed to extend its shelf life, possibly with Maleic Hydrazide, a banned product in Australia
-
bleached of its natural, earthy colours
Furthermore, at the end of its chemically controlled voyage to Australia, your imported garlic is fumigated. After that, it's shipped and cold-stored.
How we like ours
Our unbleached garlic is:
-
raised on rainwater, sunshine, and an occasional slurp of liquid seaweed
-
hand-harvested when the perfectly formed bulbs reach the right size
-
dried gently in a cool, breezy covered spot before being placed in 100% earth-friendly packaging and shipped to you
In short, our five varieties of Gippsland garlic are grown with loads of love and zero chemicals.
