Where the Alliums Grow
Autumn 2012. The fields being prepared for garlic planting.
Rickertville Farm, located in Newaygo MI, is proud to bring our naturally grown garlic to you. We hand plant each clove in the soil in the fall. We hand harvest, tie and hang the garlic to cure. After our garlic cures, we then clean and inspect each bulb by hand.
We have begun our third season of planting and growing garlic on our small farm. It looks like we have a good start at getting the garlic cloves into the ground, as of today, October 22, 2012, we have the following varieties in their raised beds:
Hardnecks: German White, Music, Chesnok Red, Kilarney Red, Montana Giant, Brown Tempest, and some new growers: Polish Hardneck, Russian Giant.
Softnecks: Asian Blossom, new grower: California softneck.
And hundreds of Elephant "garlic" ROUNDS, and elephant bulb cloves.
Rick and I hope to get the current selling softnecks into the ground in the next couple of days, weather permitting.
I'm happy to say that are try at growing and selling Herbs was enjoyable and productive. We plan to fill our tiny green house again next February full of herbs to bring to market starting in May 2013.
We plan to once again grow our garlic bulbils to produce garlic pearls, think pearled onions, to provide a delectable garlic alternative until our garlic bulbs are available late summer early fall.
In 2011 we sold most of our garlic at local farmers markets and a bit online. Our hopes to expand our online sales in 2012, thank you our internet shoppers, has grown quit a bit. We hope those of you who purchased from us this year and received your garlic are happy. We hope to see you return again and continue to visit us often to see what we have available. We hope to welcome many new garlic and allium lovers.
We'd like to once again let our family know we appreciate all of their time and effort in assisting us with our endeavor to produce and provide quality garlic, leeks, shallots, and scallions. Dan Rickert has been an immeasurable help in all of our process. He has been an intricate part of this adventure in alliums, whether it be his help in preparing the fields, planting, harvesting, tying and cleaning the garlic or his attending local farmers markets. We'd also like to thank Bill Augustine for believing in us enough that he invested in our ad-venture.

A Little bit more about us:
At our farm we have five adopted family members and one human daughter. We have Millicent Goldfarb, MilliGold Macaw; June Bug, Greenwing Macaw, PeteTranella, Blue & Gold Macaw and Hugh Bird, Catalina Macaw. The baby in the family is Lolaboy, kitty.
Millicent has been with us since 2003 when she came to live with us in Orlando, FL. She is 21 years old. Her younger sister, Junie Bug was just 7 months old when she became part of our family in January 2009. April 7 of 2009, Pete, who later we found out is a Petranella (name sake is my mom), joined our little family. . . . . more later.
