If you’re a gardener in Idaho looking to plant garlic this fall, you may have already heard about the state’s Allium Quarantine. This regulation is designed to protect Idaho’s agriculture from the devastating spread of white rot, a soil-borne fungus that can live in the ground for decades. But don’t worry—Garlic Gods is here to help you plant safely, legally, and successfully.
Idaho's Allium Quarantine Areas:
Ada
Canyon
Gem
Payette
Washington
Boise
Elmore
Owyhee
Blaine
Gooding
Lincoln
Jerome
Twin Falls
Minidoka
Cassia
Power
Bingham
Jefferson
Madison
Bonneville
Malheur County, Oregon
Idaho’s Allium Quarantine affects multiple counties where planting garlic, onions, leeks, and other alliums requires strict disease prevention. The counties highlighted in yellow are within the white rot quarantine areas with commercial and backyard growers / gardeners. The rule is clear: Only certified, disease-free allium planting stock is allowed in quarantine counties.
Our Garlic Is Certified White Rot–Free
At Garlic Gods, we take soil health seriously. That’s why all of our heirloom seed garlic is:

Any new varieties are tested, inspected, and certified through the University of Idaho
Heirloom hardneck and softneck garlic for Idaho and beyond
Grown using regenerative practices and a 5-year crop rotation

Why Choose Garlic Gods?
We’re not just seed sellers—we’re garlic growers who believe in clean soil, honest farming, and high-quality heirloom bulbs. From hardneck favorites like Music, Metechi, and Chesnok Red to softneck varieties perfect for braiding and long-term storage, Garlic Gods has what you need.
Is Garlic Gods Organic?
Yes—and no.
At Garlic Gods, we follow strict natural growing practices that align closely with organic standards, but we are not USDA Certified Organic—and that’s by choice.
We never use synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides, and we never will. However, we’ve chosen not to pursue official certification, because we believe our commitment to the land and our customers goes beyond the label.
🧄 Our Growing Practices
Our methods are simple, consistent, and transparent:
No chemicals or sprays—ever before planting or after harvest
Cover cropping with grain, mustard, legumes, clover, turnip, and buckwheat to enrich the soil
5-year crop rotation to prevent disease and maintain soil health
Fertilization with natural inputs like fish emulsion and blood meal
Weed control by hand and with mechanical cultivators—no herbicides, ever
No anti-sprouting agents—our garlic stores naturally up to 9 months depending on the variety
Heirloom, certified disease-free garlic tested annually to ensure it’s white rot–free
Our farm was planted in pasture since the early 1980s. Since taking stewardship of this land, we’ve only improved it—with every cover crop and every season.
Why We Don't Seek Certification
While USDA Organic certification sounds like a gold standard, it comes with exceptions we aren’t comfortable with. For example, certified organic farms are sometimes allowed to:
Use non-organic inputs (when approved)
Sometimes apply certain synthetic pesticides and fertilizers
Plant GMO seed as a “last resort”
We don’t play by the “sometimes,” “when approved,” or “last resort” rulebook.
At Garlic Gods, our approach never changes. We grow with integrity, sustainability, and transparency—not to meet a certification, but to meet a higher standard that we set for ourselves.
Our Promise
We’re not chasing a label. We’re growing garlic the right way—clean, honest, and responsibly farmed.
