Gift option - Share of our 2025 garlic harvest (18 assorted garlic bulbs)

This is our gift subscription option:
 
If you wish to buy a share for a loved one, friend, or member of the family as a gift, this option enables you to do this, and print a PDF "gift certificate" from the link on the "buy a garlic share" page. The gift certificate can be given to the recipient in a card for instance as a birthday present, christmas present or thank you. Otherwise, the subscription works in the same way as our standard subscription, in that a share of our yearly harvest is reserved via a small plot on our farm, and delicious plump garlic is grown each year for as long as the subscription remains live. The garlic is always posted out in the summer (around July), so the recipient will recieve the garlic then.
 
Just a few things to note:
 
for multiple gift orders, a seperate order will need to be made for each recipient so the address of the recipient can be added
please ensure you have the address details of the recepient before ordering, and enter this, along with their name, in the delivery details
this is a rolling subscription (£21), and will repeat each year until cancelled (this is made clearon the certificate)
 
Below is the standard information for our garlic share scheme:
 
You will recieve at least 18 of our amazing, and juicy Welsh grown garlic each year, until you cancel your subscription. Our amazing garlic is dispached to your door every July and has a shelf life of up to 9 months under the correct storage conditions - although will likely last 3-6 months just sitting in a bowl on your kitchen worktop (read "storage" on the how it works page).
 
On our "no-dig" regenerative farm, we grow thousands of bulbs each year - all planted, harvested and packed by hand. Each year, we grow both "soft neck" and "hard neck" types, and typically focus on: 
 
Rhapsody Wight
Mersley Wight
Kingsland wight
Rose Wight
Picardy Wight
 
We try to include at least two or three varieties in your box, but this is very much dependant on harvesting schedules and stock - and the sizes often vary depending on the variety and conditions, but are almost always bigger than the supermarket varieties. Your order will include an information card, that just tells you a little more about us, the varieties and useful links.
 
The bulbs
 
This is a natural product, and our bulbs are not always uniform and intact. Sometimes, our larger bulbs split a little, as they burst from their protective "paper" layers. This does not affect them, in terms of their culinary use. You may also have some light soil debris in the roots, as we harvest straight from the ground, and immediately hang to "air" dry in early summer. We don't wash, and indeed try not to interfere with the bulbs as much as possible.
 
Storage
 
Your Garlic can be stored in your cardboard delivery box with the lid off. Try to keep these in a dark cool place (around 13-16 degrees celsius is ideal), and they can store up to 9 months in optimum conditions, giving almost a year round supply. However, stored in typical room temperature conditions (such as on your kitchen worktop) your garlic will usually last 3-6 months. Try to keep garlic out of direct sunlight.
 
Eating and cooking
 
Garlic is used in a wide range of dishes, throughout the world. From being roasted whole with vegetables, blended in soups, used in Asian sauces, chopped into italian pasta's, added to lamb, or simply pickled. The list is endless, and serious cooks consume an awful lot. For a regular cook, 18 bulbs will probably provide around 9 months worth of product (if storage allows). Each bulb contains around 10 - 18 individual cloves. Note: many of our varieties grow a little larger (sometimes twice as large) than you would typically expect from a supermarket.
 
Shipping
 
We ship to the mainland UK, and delivery costs (typically around £2.50) are included in the share price.
 
Our profit and pricing
 
Once postage, packaging and labeling are taken into account, we aim to make just under £1 from each garlic bulb we sell. This is a "gross" figure, and further deductions are then inavitable, in respect of taxes, equipment, labour, compost, energy etc....however, we feel it is important to be clear on our overall "up front" pricing.
