The Associated Press
TROY, N.Y. — Grace Reynolds knows garlic. She
grows 95 kinds: rosy rocamboles for their productivity,
silverskins for braiding, continentals for their big ball of
blossoms.
“My personal favorite is the rocambole,” she says,
breaking open a ball of burgundy-skinned cloves.
“Some are brilliant red, like jam, or bright pink. There
are striped ones, bluish ones. They’re wonderful to look
at.”
Reynolds, tiller of the 5-year-old Hillside Organic
Farm in the rolling countrysiae 1 5 miles east of Albany,
is among a rapidly expanding group of growers who
see cash in the passion for garlic.
Evidence of the rising ranks of garlic-lovers can be
found in bookstores, where garlic cookbooks are multi
plying; on the radio, where garlic pills are hawked by
talk-show hosts, and in the growing crowds at garlic
festivals in Arizona, Washington, Virginia, Ontario,
Canada, and New York’s Hudson Valley. The most fa
mous festival draws upward of 150,000 each June to
Gilroy, Calif, “Garlic Capital of the World.”
Most of Reynolds’ customers are other small farmers
and home gardeners who want to sow her cloves.
“I’m all for diat,” she says. “The main reason I’m so
enthusiastic about garlic is for its health benefits. The
more people are growing it, the more they’ll eat it. And
we’ll have more healthy people.”
Garlic has been a staple of folk medicine for millen
nia. Modern science has shown garlic to be a potent an
tibiotic, fungicide and insect repellent, among other
things.
Chemists have isolated garlic compounds that ease
asthma, lower cholesterol and prevent stomach cancer
and heart attacks. Garlic has been touted as a natural
remedy for sinusitis, food poisoning, yeast infections,
herpes and many other maladies.
“I don’t really like it,” Reynolds admits, “but I take a
clove a day, for health. I put slivers of it in gelatin cap
sules for my daughters, and I chop it up and swallow it
with V-8 juice.”
Most of the garlic consumed in the United States
comes from warm, sunny California and China. But

rmer’s markets, Stern says. But it’s not as lucrativei
looks.
“Say I get 100,000 bulbs from an acre," Rep ^nt ar
says. “If I sold them all, for $3 a pound, that’s W ^0 ear
off an acre. Sounds like a decent living.”
But she only sells a third of the crop. She keep ln ^92
other third to replant. The rest are too small to use.
“And I’m working three acres, but only getting
turn from one,” she says.
Garlic is rotated with cover crops to maintain soi
tility on an organic farm.
It’s also a labor-intensive crop. “Each bulbhasi
handled seven times,” Reynolds says. “And that dot
include the mulching, weeding, irrigating, hoeing
planting cover crops.’
The cloves must he separated from the bull
planted by hand. The flower shoots must be cut
June so they don’t deplete the bulbs.
The mature garlic is pulled by hand in late su
hung on wooden racks to dry, then trimmed, sorted
packed in boxes
