How Do Subscriptions Work?Mellow and fresh, spring garlic is essentially the baby version of the mature garlic we know and love. Less spicy and pungent than its mature counterpart, this young allium is sure to liven up your spring dishes. With one stalk of spring garlic roughly equivalent to one clove of mature garlic, you can use it as a substitute to freshen up your dishes. Similar to green onions or scallions, you can use them raw to make dressings or top off your dish for a zip of fresh flavor.

The Problem
The majority of store-bought garlic is either grown and trucked in from California or imported all the way from China, where cheap labor is exploited to drive down the cost of the crop. The garlic is grown in poor soil that relies on harmful chemical fertilizers. In addition, most commercial growers prefer the softneck variety because it doesn’t produce the labour-intensive scape. These tend to be milder and more vegetative in their taste in comparison to hardnecks.
Our Food Fix
Locally-sourced, organically-grown garlic is grown in nutrient-rich soil that then boosts the anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial. In addition to its medicinal properties, hardneck varieties of garlic are much more pungent, crisp, and flavorful. A little goes a long way!
