Christopher Ranch is the largest grower of fresh California garlic in the world. A family farm focused on garlic cultivation and land preservation, we strive to sustain-ably produce California heirloom garlic that is flavorful, fresh, healthy and safe. Hmmmm.... sounds great, but what does it mean Well it all began in 1956 when Don Christopher selected an Italian heirloom seed to test in California's rich soils. The tests were a success, and today, we exclusively grow 60 million pounds of fresh California heirloom garlic. California heirloom garlic is characterized by its smooth, bold, nutty flavor which food laboratory tests ensure our garlic is safe, which is why we follow strict food safety procedures in our garlic production.
