Join our garlic revolution
Fed up of substandard imported garlic?
Let us grow your garlic for £21 per year, and support regenerative farming
At Pili-Pala Farm we specialise in garlic. Using a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model, we make available 500 shares of our yearly harvest, which we post to your door every year. Our garlic is lovingly reared on a south facing hillside in mid Wales using a "no dig" regenerative approach. We don't apply chemicals, and plant, harvest and dry our bulbs by hand. Would you like us to grow your garlic?
How our garlic CSA works
1
You invest in a share
We sell "shares" in our growing space. You can buy as many shares as you like, and each share costs £21. For each share purchased, we reserve half a square meter of our growing space - around 18 garlic bulbs.

We grow
We then plant, grow, harvest and dry your juicy bulbs on our small regenerative farm in Mid Wales. We harvest our garlic around late June, and then cure them in our drying shed. We grow several distinctive varieties.

You enjoy
We post you your British grown garlic in around late July once they have cured. Our large garlic varieties keep for many months, and you can cook with the most flavoursome, fresh, healthy and plump garlic for most of the year.
We grow our garlic, and a range of other crops, here at Pili-Pala Farm, a "no dig" market garden farm, nestled in the Welsh hills. "Pili-Pala" is Welsh for butterfly, and symbolises our commitment to the regeneration of soil and healthy habitats, where wild flowers and ancient woodlands share the land. Our south facing sloping site, enables us to catch the full energy of the sun, and our valley micro-climate accelerates growth and keeps the north winds at bay. We sow, weed and harvest by hand, and use no chemical fertilisers, pesticides or herbicides on our crops.
