Beets Workin' Farm & HardneckGarlic.com
Beets Workin’ Farm is OUR small family farm NOW located in the beautiful Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, where we focus on growing dozens of unique varieties of garlic available online at HardneckGarlic.com and numerous festivals throughout the Northeast USA.
EVERYTHING we sell has been grown on our farm, we DO NOT resell product from other producers! And the people you see in the pictures on our site planting, harvesting and cleaning garlic? They’re three generations of our family that lovingly plant each clove by hand, harvest and clean every bulb and coordinate all of the details in-between.
After years of growing garlic and four season produce in Southeastern PA we purchased 250 acres on the Lamoille River in Greensboro Bend, Vermont in 2017 with the intent of relocating our family and our garlic farm in the coming years. After a few years of focusing on improving soil healthy, fertility and tilth our entire garlic crop is now Vermont Grown on the banks of the Lamoille.
“Are you Organic?” is a frequently asked question and it’s an important one for those that care deeply about how they nourish their families, including us! Unfortunately, it’s a question that can no longer be answered easily so here goes: We grow sustainably and only use products approved by OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute) but we are NOT “Certified Organic” simply because we refuse to pay a fee & surcharge for someone to “certify” us. The “organic” label, like most everything it seems these days, has been corrupted by corporate interests and we don’t see the value in participating in their schemes. Nowadays there is a litany of “labels & classifications” (schemes) that attempt to “promote” what they think is in best interest of the consumer. “WHAT THEY THINK…”. Certified Organic, Regenerative Organic Certified, Real Organic Project, Certified Naturally Grown, and on and on…. What’s the most important thing we can tell you about how we grow? We nourish our family with the same garlic & veggies grown on our farm and there’s simply nothing more meaningful we can say than that. We’re happy to discuss how we grow and what we use as supplements and why, much of which you can find on our YouTube channel: The Garlic Grower
