Our
Story
Arcade Acres started in 2012 as a tree farm, and in 2017 we started growing heirloom garlic from all over the world. Struggling through the learning curve of garlic growing, and all that it takes to produce naturally grown healthy garlic, Arcade Acres has developed the fields with green cover crops, crop rotation, and proper garlic pre-planting preparations which results in a quality garlic.
Over time Arcade Acres has grown many different varieties of garlic and some of those varieties have been discontinued. That is because some stains of garlic need milder winters or longer warmer weather. Today we have established the varieties that produce well and provide a quality product.
​
Arcade Acres has a dried garlic product line of dried sliced, dried granulated and dried powdered garlic, this line is one of our best sellers at local farmers markets and COOP's , we also sell our dried products at the Cuba Garlic Festival, which we have been attending for the last 3 years.
What's Growing...
Albion
A gentleman informed me that he has vacation property in New Albion, NY where a strain of garlic has been growing for over 50 years. He then told me that if I was interested he would give me the address and I could pick as much as I want.
​
The garlic was a wild hardneck type and the bulbs were very small, I then dug down into the soil and grabbed as many bulbs as I could, after 3 years of now growing in a controlled and improved growing environment, I now have a new hardneck garlic that I call "Albion"
Venezia Red and Venezia White
Meeting an Italian gentleman who told me that is family came to America through Ellis Island in the early 1900's. His family brought garlic from the Venice region and that if I was interested in his garlic since he was cutting back on his garden area. He gave me 2 hardneck varieties, one being a red skinned and the other a white skinned. They are now growing well in my field and I named them Venezia Red and Venezia White.​
​
Theses 3 types of garlic, once I have a large supply will only be sold at the Cuba Garlic Festival.
