Why We Love Garlic at Snug Farm
Garlic is an amazing plant. It tastes fantastic, and it’s packed with proven health benefits too. Garlic has been shown to help fight off bacteria and fungi, reduce inflammation, protect cells from damage, and even lower the risk of heart disease.
We’ve always believed garlic is a bit of a superfood—and that’s why we grow it with so much loving care here at Snug Farm.
Grown for Flavour—and for Our Climate
Garlic has been part of human history for thousands of years, with hundreds of different types grown around the world. Each variety has its own flavour and personality.
Here at Snug Farm in the sub-alpine highlands of NSW, we grow garlic varieties that thrive in our cool climate. Right now, we’re growing a mix of early-harvest Turbans and late-harvest Standard Purple Stripe Dunganski. We’re always trialling new types too, to see what performs best in our soil—and to help stretch the garlic season as long as possible.
We Don’t Just Grow It—We Make Garlic Goodies Too
Garlic doesn’t just stop at the bulb for us. We make a range of small-batch, handmade products using our own garlic, including:
Black garlic
Pickled garlic
Relish
Dried garlic powders
These are all made right here on the farm, using our own award winning Snug Farm garlic.
Grown the Regenerative Way
Everything we grow at Snug Farm is done using regenerative and permaculture principles. That means we focus on giving back to the soil, building biodiversity, and growing food in a way that’s good for people, animals, and the planet.
Seasonal and Small Batch
Because we grow naturally and in sync with the seasons, our garlic and garlic products are available at different times throughout the year. If you’d like to see what’s in stock now, just head over to our shop page.
