Deerfield is in the Purple Stripe category. It is a lesser known garlic variety among growers who collect heirlooms. It’s one of those cultivars that doesn’t show up in big catalogs but circulates through garlic festivals, and small farms—often because it performs reliably and tastes fantastic. It’s believed to have originated from a family heirloom line in the northeastern U.S. or Canada—hence the name “Deerfield,” which appears in several regions. Growers value it for the large, attractive bulbs, the strong, classic garlic flavour, excellent cold hardiness and reliable bulb size even in tough seasons. It's known for its hot, assertive heat when raw, rich, warm, slightly sweet flavour when roasted and a lingering, savory finish. Produces tall, sturdy scapes. Similar in strength to German White or Polish Jenn. Deerfield thrives in cold climates (excellent for BC) including Merritt. Deerfield have 8–12 cloves per bulb. They store well for 4-6 months when stored properly.
