Selling Garlic: Getting Garlic Bulbs Ready To Sell

In the last garlic video we showed sorting and hanging the garlic. It's been a month or so since the first of the garlic was harvested so it's time to start selling.
Jason shows how we clean up the garlic to make it auction ready, attractive bulbs sell better! He also will show a few of the bulbs that are not auction material (for various reasons).
We sell the garlic at a local produce auction. We need to have around 200 bulbs ready for each sale (3 sales per week) through mid October, so this is what we will be doing for a few hours every week until then.

Hi. Thank you for releasing this video. I am interested in growing garlic. We purchased a few acres of land in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is located in the caribbean. I love how the sheep and rooster commented, as if they were queued. God Bless you all! Merry Christmas and have a productive New Year!

Merry Christmas to you too and good luck in Puerto Rico!

Do you have animals in that barn? I keep thinking about drying in my barn but I worry about keeping livestock in the same building.

Yes, some lambs, so way too short to reach any and tons of airflow

If you wouldn't mind saying, about how much money do you get for 220 bulbs? I am trying to understand price point--I know we are in different areas, but I would like to understand if this is a viable farming opportunity for me or not to grow more to sell.

We sell them sorted by size in peck baskets of 50 to 80, always full baskets but small bulbs mean more bulbs per peck. Since we sell at an auction price varies by day, anywhere from 30 cents each to over $1 each. Sort hard, all imperfects go to 2nds and be sure to keep same size bulbs in box only, mixed sizes seem to lower the price.
