Fresh and natural, our Garlic Braid with Herbs features eighteen garlic bulbs with Chilis, Bay Leaves, Thyme and Rosemary. Made from California late harvest soft-neck garlic, we braid each one here on the farm then attach a beautiful bunch of fresh herbs and dried chilis. Because the garlic is still on the stem it should last 6-9 months from harvest in late July. Store in a cool dry place. Sizes of the bulbs may vary from one harvest to the next. 
Will last several years for decorative use.

• Harvested in July and available from November until sold out
• Approximately 16" long
• 18 Fresh Garlic Bulbs
• McFadden Farm Recipe Booklet Included
• Garlic is fresh and natural but NOT organic
• Garlic is shipped fresh

For best results…

Immediately remove from shipping box and give a quick shake to fluff up the leaves. 
All bay products are made to order, shipped fresh and should be opened immediately. Leaving the bay in its shipping box will damage it.
Hang indoors - out of direct sunlight, away from excess heat and moisture.
Keep out of freezing temperatures.
You can lightly spray with water to keep fresh for longer, but don’t mist repeatedly.

To use your bay in the kitchen…

In about 10-14 days the leaves will dry and turn a lighter green color and become more brittle. That is when they are great to cook with! Just pull off a leaf and use it right away. Or you can pull several, let them air dry and then store in a sealed jar. They’ll be good for about a year.
**Please note that bay is toxic to animals if consumed.
If your bay product has chilis, those are not organic, but they are edible.

To use your garlic in the kitchen... 
Gently cut netting with scissors to remove braid without injury to bulbs.
Find the little string hook on the back of the braid and hang in a cool, dry place, preferably out of direct heat and sunlight.
Twist off one bulb at a time, working from top to bottom - the bulbs at the bottom have the longest stems so they will stay fresh the longest (6-9 Months)
