Our Story

Farming runs in the family.

I grew up on a farm — 45 years of my dad's crop knowledge is baked into how I think about soil, rotation, and doing things right. Different crop, same principles.

Our first garlic goes in the ground Fall 2026. Half an acre of Music Porcelain, hand-planted near Kitchener-Waterloo. We're starting small and growing the right way.

No shortcuts. No commodity. Just Ontario soil, honest work, and traceable hardneck garlic at a fair wholesale price.

Fine-dining standard. Mild, complex, melts into butter. Nearly impossible to find Ontario-grown — we're one of a handful of growers producing them in the province.

Why Field 5

Three things that set our garlic apart.

01

One variety, done right.

We grow Music Porcelain — chosen for Ontario climate and chef demand. Not 12 varieties with split attention. One variety we know inside out.

02

Slow-cured for flavour.

Four weeks at 10-15°C, 60-70% humidity. The difference between garlic that stores and garlic that's gone by October. Flavour develops, storage life extends.

03

Full traceability.

You know the field, the variety, the grower. We offer field walks for chefs before committing. Not many garlic growers will show you their dirt.

Growing practices: OMAFRA-recommended integrated pest management. No routine fungicides or herbicides — crop rotation, clean seed, field sanitation. Soil amended with composted manure and minerals based on annual tests. Rain-fed with supplemental drip irrigation. Not certified organic, but built around soil health.
