Jeremy and Dana Wilson, passionate gardeners and foodies, gave up their busy city life in Denver, Colorado to move their family to a small 25-acre farm in rural Oregon. After sharing a lifelong dream of living closer to the land, they decided to take a leap of faith and start a garlic farm as first-generation farmers. Everything they learned and their journey along the way is documented in the Garlic Grower’s Handbook.

The Garlic Grower’s Handbook is a concise guide for the organic gardener or small scale farmer. Complete with step by step growing instructions for large garlic bulbs and filled with beautiful photos from the farm, this gardener’s read highlights the rich garlic growing history of Alsea Valley, Oregon and includes stories from the farm. 

Jeremy is a classically trained chef with over a decade of experience working in some of Denver’s finest restaurants and an environmental engineer with a degree from the Colorado School of Mines. His passion is growing good garlic. Dana is a photographer by training and stays busy documenting farm activities with her beautiful photographs. She is a wizard at creating intriguing farm content for their social media followers and designing the farm’s beautiful website.
