Grumpy Glenn’s Garlic
Grumpy Glenn's four delicious varieties are grown
here in Galena on the premises of our good friends
Paul, Lori and Kyle Murphy at Murphy’s Gardens. He
plants Certified Organic seeds that have proven to
do well here in the fertile soils of Jo Daviess County,
Illinois. Using organic growing methods he then
lovingly hand plants, hand weeds, hand picks and
hand cleans it. It is grown naturally with no
pesticides or chemicals. The resulting product is a
delightfully flavorful garlic that is wonderful in your
favorite recipe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q How long will your garlic stay fresh
and flavorful?
A Our garlic was harvested locally in July. To
maximize storage time and increase flavor we have
dried our garlic for several weeks after harvesting.
Unpeeled bulbs if kept in a cool dry place (not the
refrigerator!) will stay fresh for several months.
This compares to Supermarket garlic, which has
usually been imported from a foreign country. It
spoils so quickly because it was harvested and
chemically treated many months ago.

and the polysulfides do not form.
