ABOUT US

Our Garlic Farm

Chaco-and-Title.jpg

My dad, let me drive the 1957 John Deere Model MT at the age of 9.  We used this 2-cylinder tractor to extract fallen trees from our 80-acres of land after a tornado created a path of destruction.  Then we used "1957" to prepare our garden so we could plant garlic, squash, and beans. We sold the harvest in our hometown. Years passed. The tractor got sold.  I enlisted in the United States Army, I graduated from the University of Wisconsin- Madison.  Then off to Graduate School across the pond in Edinburgh, Scotland.  I eventually got back to growing garlic, and continue to love it.  Growing garlic is worth every lovely moment. We have Identical Twin Boys who enjoy playing in the dirt, planting and harvesting garlic; Now it is even more memorable.  Thank you.  GROeat Farm.  Bozeman, Montana.  Jere Folgert

Forget the whirring metal giant robots and sterile efficiency. At Groeat Farm, garlic grows to the rhythmic hum of laughter and the earthy symphony of shovels scraping against soil. Here, robots are as welcome as vampires at a garlic festival. Every bulb, from plump clove to papery skin, is coaxed from the earth by sweat, calloused hands, and a whole lot of heart.

Sunrise finds Farmer Jere, a man whose beard knows garlic better than most cookbooks, leading the charge. A gaggle of volunteers, lured by the promise of fresh air, pungent rewards, and maybe a competitive game of garlic braid relay, follow in his wake. The air thrums with chatter, stories swapped between rows like precious cloves, punctuated by the satisfying "thunk" of garden forks piercing the soil.

Lunch is a communal affair, a picnic blanket spread under the shade of an ancient aspen, the air thick with the aroma of homemade pesto and gossip juicier than any clove. Sun-kissed faces share tales of rogue squirrels, stubborn garlic bulbs, and the day Jere's prize pumpkin tried to escape the patch (it didn't).

As the sun dips below the horizon, casting long shadows across the field, baskets brim with glistening bulbs. Tired muscles ache with a pleasant thrum, a testament to a day spent not just working, but connecting. For at Groeat Farm, garlic isn't just a crop; it's a shared story, a tapestry woven from laughter, sweat, and the earthy magic of human touch.

So, when you bite into that next clove, remember: it might taste of sunshine and spice, but it also echoes with the laughter of sunburnt volunteers and the unwavering spirit of a farm that grows more than just garlic – it grows community.

Regardless of your religion or political beliefs, or your favorite sports team or any other way we like to divide ourselves into tribes, I think we can all agree that a successful life is one where you leave the world a better place than you found it. A net positive effect due to your influence.

 

We are not a reseller of hardneck garlic.  We are the growers and operators of the hardneck garlic we sell.  Regarding our hardneck garlic, we are direct Farm-to-Table Farmers.   Our pure hardneck garlic is a refreshing joy for chefs, home cooks, and connoisseurs who appreciate healthy, tasty and fresh garlic with outstanding flavors.   We process our hardneck garlic by hand; This includes planting, weeding, harvesting, curing and preparing the garlic before it gets shipped to you. We invite you to take a look and if you have questions we are always happy to help. Thank you for supporting GroEat Farm and small American Farmers.  We specialize in growing quality seed garlic and culinary garlic, grown naturally in beautiful Bozeman Montana.  We utilize practices including crop rotation, cover cropping, mulching, and hand-pick weeding to produce a healthy crop without synthetic herbicides, or pesticides. We apply naturally sourced minerals and amendments to encourage well-balanced, biologically active soil.

GroEat Farm, LLC is a small, independently-owned grower and supplier of premium quality hardneck garlic (seed and culinary).    We provide exceptional quality hardneck garlic to nurseries,  market growers, home garden enthusiasts, chefs, and anyone else looking for better hardneck garlic.

Hardneck Garlic Growing Practices:  No Pesticides, No Herbicides, No Fungicides.   Our little family farm uses best farming practices to grow and achieve quality hardneck garlic. 

 

GroEat Farm, LLC is a small, sustainable family farm located in Bozeman, Montana.  We’re located in the beautiful Hyalite foothills, below the Gallatin Mountain Range.  The hardneck varieties that grow at our farm (Ophioscorodon) flourish here, due to the combination of the cold winters, temperate summers, moist spring, and the dynamic alluvial soils, washed down from the Gallatin Range (comprised of Archean metamorphics, Paleozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary rocks, and Eocene volcanics).  Not only are the GroEat Hardneck garlic healthy and beautiful, the flavor’s are robust and delicate.

 

Our mission at GroEat Farm, LLC is to grow premium hardneck garlic, preserve garlic varieties for the future (through propagation), and to provide others with the opportunity to grow garlic from our seed.   We help home gardeners, chefs, small-scale commercial growers, gardeners, plant nurseries, and anyone else looking for better hardneck garlic.  We are continuing a very long tradition of growing quality gourmet and seed hardneck garlic.   

On a personal note:  I started growing garlic in 1969 with my grandmother.  Grandma "Maggy" Folgert immigrated to the United States from Poland in 1921.  Margaret Pachalewska Magdalena arrived on Ellis Island, after traveling across the Atlantic Ocean on a ship with her sister.  Rumor has it, she brought many heads of garlic with her on that ship.  She moved to Chicago, Illinois for a few months.  Eventually, she and her new husband she met at a restaurant (a cop with the last name of Folgert) moved to Phillips, Wisconsin.  They had high hopes to establish a farm and raise kids.  She planted garlic cloves that fall, to keep her connection with Poland.  Polish Hardneck is a hardy, rich, strong Porcelain type - just like her.  Without electricity or running water, she raised six kids including my father, Patrick.  She used garlic in many of the food dishes she prepared using her wood-fired stove and oven.   They lived on 120 acres and grew virtually all of their food.  Ever since I can remember, we planted garlic each fall.  My dad, Patrick, continued to grow garlic until he passed away a few years ago.  Together, we continued to propagate garlic, we shared new techniques for growing garlic, and we shared many homemade tasty recipes.  Thank you Grandma Folgert.  Thank you, dad.  I found it interesting that Grandma Folgert lived in Chicago before moving to Wisconsin.  The official origin of the name “Chicago” is the French version of the Miami-Illinois word shikaakwa (“Stinky Garlic”), named for the garlic plant (not onion) Allium tricoccum, which was commonly found along the Chicago River.

 

We carry on Margaret's tradition.  We plant, weed, harvest, hang and cure our hardneck garlic by hand - one at a time.

Putting an End to Single-Use Packaging

At Grow Eat Farm, when we send you our hardneck garlic, we use recirculated boxes from our local stores.  Why?

 

We are beginning to put an end to single-use packaging.  So many durable boxes are used once and then thrown away.  Doing away with one-time use packaging is worth the effort.  We ship and are packaging garlic in reusable containers.  So far, we have stopped more than 4,300 disposable boxes from being thrown into our landfills.  Our hope is to demonstrate the possibility of a different way of doing things.  We believe in packaging that can be used again and again.  Can we allow durable goods to circulate endlessly?  Let's give it a try to keep up the recirculation.
