The Alaska Garlic project

Growing the best Garlic we can has become our obsession, we know you will taste the difference. We were so delighted with our initial garlic
harvests we decided to go “all-in”. Our previous decades of experience with this awesome food/spice/health restorer informed our choice of varieties for our far-north location and climate. We sell garlic as Alaska adapted seed for other growers, as edible decorative braids,
and for garlic connoisseurs and chefs who just can’t get enough of this flavorful bulb!”

Garlic Varieties

Synergy’s Garlic Varieties

Hardneck Varieties-(Allium sativum ssp. ophioscorodon)

Hardnecks (Allium sativum ssp. ophioscorodon) are closer to wild garlic, with complex flavors. All hardy hardneck varieties grow an edible and delicious “scape” in the mid-summer season. Hardneck varieties are the garlic bulbs that some compare to wines with subtle differences that reflect the regional soil and weather patterns. Simple benefits to the cook are the larger clove size and ease of peeling.

  • ROMANIAN RED- Hardneck with large Scapes Porcelain Strain
    Big cloves, nice subtle color on skins, with a piquant kick. Harvest late. Very
    good storage.

  • MUSIC- Hardneck with Scapes Porcelain Strain
    Outstanding popular northern plant with very large bulbs. Starchy and sweet
    when baked. Harvest late, good storage.

Softneck Varieties- (Allium sativum ssp. sativum)

This is the garlic you’ll find in most grocery stores. The bulb has a mild flavor. A great virtue of the softneck garlic (Allium sativum ssp. sativum) is that it stores very well. Since the necks are (literally) soft, they are ideal for braiding. A braid of garlic makes a winning kitchen gift for friends and family!
