These special garlics we are offering are grown here in the Colorado Front Range and provided to us from Pachamama Organic Farm and Wellness in Longmont, Colorado. They have carefully grown and tended for several generations to adapt to the Mountain West and have done very well. Proceeds from these purchases support MASA's outreach and collaboration projects with local farmers in the Front Range Region.
