Processing our garlic

Cultivated with care

Dedicated local farmers, often spanning multiple generations, grow our bulk garlic under the Californian sunshine deep in the San Joaquin Valley.

Uniquely bred for plant health

All of our wholesale US garlic is grown from our unique non-GMO garlic cloves, developed through our rigorous in-house seed breeding using tissue cultures and grown using hydroponics to help ensure that the seed development is virus-free. The seed is then transplanted in nurseries and used to grow our garlic crop.

Climate positive yields

Our high yielding garlic produces more cloves on fewer acres of land, minimizing our use of water, fuel, fertilizer and pesticides. After harvesting, the cloves are sent to one of our facilities to be washed, sliced, dried and milled to size. Our California garlic is dried and processed into fractions within days of harvest.

Sustainable garlic

Growing responsibly

Sustainability is at the heart of business at ofi. We’re deeply committed to meeting the needs of today, without depleting natural resources, to safeguard future generations.

The steps we take in our California garlic supply chain, such as investing in new technologies, partnering with leading environmental organizations and advocating regenerative practices at the farms belonging to our growers, are all carefully chosen to shape tomorrow for good.

Creating the Garlic Gold Standard

Garlic supply chain

We manage quality, food safety, traceability and security of supply across the integrated value chain.

USA garlic supply chain

With supervision of the entire supply chain, based in California, we produce high-quality dried garlic that is among the most sustainable in the world. Our Hanford research and development facility develops cloves through our virus-free garlic program before they’re grown and harvested on our Central Valley planting fields in partnership with local farmers. Our processing plant in Gilroy then mills, washes, slices, and dices the yield to the desired size. Quality checks maintain unparalleled safety standards throughout the entire process.

Chinese supply chain

High-quality raw garlic is secured by our team and brought directly to our new, state-of-the-art processing facility in the Shandong Province of China. Our vertically integrated plant manages the complete supply chain, from washing, sorting, gentle air-drying and milling. Our on-site quality control lab performs routine microbiological, chemical, physical and allergen testing, ensuring product safety and quality at every step.
