Best place to order seed garlic, IMO is Filaree Farm:
Filaree Farm has been a family owned grower and supplier of premium quality organic garlic seed since 1977. As stewards of the largest collection of garlic in North America that is available to the public, our mission is to preserve the integrity and provide others the opportunity to grow more than 100 strains of garlic -collected from throughout the world. Since 2010, we have added new organic seed products including shallot sets, seed potatoes, asparagus crowns and sweet potato slips.
