As garlic has a central role in some of the spookiest Halloween myths, this time of year, we are sure to incorporate it in our packaging. From now through Halloween, you might just find Christopher Ranch Halloween display boxes in your favorite store. These boxes showcase California garlic while celebrating our favorite holiday.

With Halloween just around the corner, our garlic braids are the perfect addition to your kitchen, to not only enjoy fall flavors but to also keep out things that go bump in the night. With every vampire’s least favorite garlicky day fast approaching, you’ll want to get your hands on our heirloom garlic while our seasonal braid supplies last.

Ever wonder how to tell the difference between California and some imported garlic? Often, garlic from overseas will have the roots cleanly shaven off, whereas California garlic will always have the remnants of the root system that once nurtured the plant. When in doubt, always be sure to look for that intact root plate because if it’s there, it’s likely California.

Thanks to investments in controlled-atmosphere cold storage, we’re able to offer California Heirloom garlic year-round! As you can see, the garlic that we’re packing and shipping this week is every bit as fresh as the day it was harvested. Thank you all so much for supporting California farmers, and as always, Go Garlic!
