Frequently Asked Questions

About Prest Produce & Our Red Russian Garlic

1. What makes Prest Produce’s garlic different from grocery store garlic?

At Prest Produce, we grow premium Red Russian Garlic—a hardy, Canadian-grown variety known for its bold flavour, rich nutrients, and large, easy-to-peel cloves. Unlike mass-imported garlic often treated with chemicals and shipped thousands of kilometers, our garlic is harvested fresh in British Columbia and sold directly to customers, ensuring unmatched quality and freshness.

2. What is Red Russian Garlic, and why is it special?

Red Russian Garlic is a type of hardneck garlic that thrives in cold Canadian climates. It produces fewer but larger cloves per bulb, has a deep, robust flavour, and is well-suited for both cooking and long-term storage. Its beautiful purple skin and strong disease resistance make it a favourite among chefs, gardeners, and health-conscious consumers.

3. Do you ship garlic across Canada?

Yes! Prest Produce ships Red Russian Garlic across Canada. Whether you’re a retailer, restaurant, home cook, or garlic enthusiast, we ensure quick and careful delivery so you receive the freshest garlic possible—direct from our farm in British Columbia to your doorstep.

4. Is your garlic grown using sustainable farming practices?

Absolutely. Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. Our garlic is grown without synthetic pesticides or herbicides, using low-intervention, soil-focused methods. By supporting Prest Produce, you’re supporting a family-run farm committed to honest, eco-friendly food production.
