Filaree garlic farm

What Filaree garlic farm does

Filaree Garlic Farm is a privately held, independently owned agricultural seed business based in Okanogan County, Washington, that grows and sells certified organic seed garlic and a curated set of complementary planting stock through a direct-to-consumer e-commerce channel. Its core catalog spans more than 100 garlic varieties organized across nine varietal groups (Rocambole, Purple Stripe, Porcelain, Artichoke, Silverskin, Asiatic, Turban, Creole, and Elephant), with each bulb reportedly inspected at least 12 times between planting and shipping and a minimum seed size of roughly 1 3/4 inches. The company is USDA and WSDA certified organic, and positions itself as a specialist supplier to home gardeners and small-scale growers rather than industrial agriculture.

Beyond seed garlic, Filaree has built out a seasonal lineup of organic seed potatoes, sweet potato slips, asparagus crowns, strawberry roots, rhubarb divisions, horseradish, onion sets and transplants, and shallots, alongside garden packs, kitchen goods, geopots, garden tools, books, and branded merchandise. The business runs on a BigCommerce storefront with phone, email, and mail ordering layered on top, and ships seasonally — fall garlic begins moving mid-September and sweet potato slips ship once per year around June 1 — exclusively to U.S. and Puerto Rico addresses. There is no disclosed outside ownership, no venture or private-equity backing, and no management team listed in the source material, consistent with a founder-operated family farm. Pricing is unit-based by weight, with bulk discounts and a separate wholesale track for larger commercial buyers.
