In 1992 I was given a gift of a
bundle (about a pound)
of Korean Rocambole. This was
from a good friend of
mine who's parents had just come
from Korea to
America. Having never experienced
the joy of quality
garlic I was so taken with this gift
that I saved 2 heads
and planted them. This was my first
experience with
growing garlic and in fact this is
what led me into
becoming a farmer.
The years went by and I kept
replanting the harvest.
The crop eventually grew to a
point where I had
enough to start selling. The garlic
was received with
such enthusiasm that I kept
increasing the crop until
at its peak we had a crop of just
over 4,000 lbs.
Since those days we have reduced
our crop size of garlic
in favor of diversification, on the
farm, and we also
have had years of producing
crops of many other
varieties of garlic. Garlic of all
sizes, colors, shapes
and eating qualities. Through
all the experimentation,
though we have always come
home to just a few
varieties that work out very well
for us here at Jones
Creek Farms. Always the top
choice of them all has
been the Korean Rocambole.
