Welcome to Silver Bull Farm
Nestled in the heart of Southern Minnesota, just outside Janesville, Silver Bull Farm has become a trusted destination for premium seed garlic and scion wood. Since establishing our farm in 2020, we have remained dedicated to growing and providing products that help gardeners, homesteaders, and growers succeed while honoring the land with sustainable practices. For us, farming is more than producing crops—it is about cultivating a relationship between people, food, and soil that lasts for generations.
Our Story
Silver Bull Farm began with a simple idea: that food should be grown with care and integrity. What started as a small endeavor has grown into a farm that supplies garlic, scion wood, and inspiration to gardeners across the region. Over the years, we have refined our methods, learned from successes and challenges, and expanded our offerings to better serve the community. While we may not carry the official certification of an organic farm, we follow organic principles in every decision we make. Our crops are grown without synthetic chemicals, relying instead on natural processes that restore soil fertility, preserve biodiversity, and support long-term resilience.
Premium Seed Garlic
At the heart of what we do is garlic, and our carefully selected varieties represent the foundation of our farm. We provide German White garlic, known for its large bulbs and reliable performance in diverse growing conditions, making it a favorite among both experienced gardeners and beginners. Other unique cultivars, such as Chesnok Purple Stripe, Persian Star, and Bogatyr, allow growers to experiment with flavor, heat, and storage qualities. Each variety is cultivated with care in Minnesota soil, ensuring they are well-adapted to the region’s climate.
For gardeners who enjoy trying something new, we also offer rarer selections such as Pehoski Purple and Purple Glazer. These distinctive types bring diversity to gardens and kitchens alike, offering bold flavors and unique appearances. Whether you are planting for culinary use, soil improvement, or simply the joy of growing, our premium seed garlic provides a reliable and rewarding experience.
Scion Wood for Growers
In addition to garlic, we also provide scion wood for grafting fruit trees. This allows orchardists and home growers to expand their collections, experiment with new varieties, and preserve heirloom genetics that might otherwise be lost. Grafting is one of the oldest and most sustainable agricultural practices, and by offering scion wood, we help keep that tradition alive while encouraging diversity in orchards. For gardeners who want to go beyond vegetables and into fruit production, scion wood is an affordable and practical way to build abundance over time.
Our Farming Practices
Every product we provide reflects the way we farm, and our methods are rooted in principles that prioritize the health of the land. We draw inspiration from agricultural pioneers like Masanobu Fukuoka, Ruth Stout, and Eliot Coleman, blending timeless wisdom with innovative practices. Techniques such as zero tillage, no-till planting, and cover cropping are central to our approach, helping us maintain fertile, living soil. By minimizing compaction and protecting beneficial organisms, we allow the land to regenerate while still producing abundant harvests.
We believe farming should not just take from the earth, but give back. That philosophy guides how we plan, plant, and manage each season. The result is not only healthier crops, but a farming system that can withstand challenges and adapt over time. These same practices can be adopted by home gardeners, and we are always eager to share knowledge that makes sustainable growing more approachable and rewarding.
A Resource for Gardeners
We understand that every gardener’s journey is unique. Some of our customers are seasoned growers with years of experience, while others are just starting their first raised bed or backyard orchard. Wherever you are on that path, we want to support you. Beyond supplying garlic and scion wood, we aim to be a source of knowledge and encouragement. We share insights on soil care, planting methods, and sustainable practices, helping to make the process less intimidating and more fulfilling. Our goal is not only to sell products but to inspire confidence and curiosity in those who want to cultivate their own food.
Rooted in Minnesota
Our location in Southern Minnesota shapes everything we do. The climate presents challenges, but it also provides opportunities to grow crops that are resilient and strong. By tailoring our garlic and scion wood to these conditions, we ensure that our products thrive not just here, but in gardens and orchards throughout similar climates. This regional adaptability is why many customers return to us year after year—they know that our products are proven performers in real conditions, not just in theory.
Looking Toward the Future
Since 2020, Silver Bull Farm has grown steadily, but our vision for the future is not about size alone. We want to continue deepening our knowledge, experimenting with new ideas, and expanding offerings in ways that stay true to our values. For us, growth means more than production numbers—it means stronger soil, healthier plants, and better support for the people who rely on us. We will continue exploring both traditional methods and innovative approaches, always with the goal of offering products that are dependable, sustainable, and inspiring.
Why We Do What We Do
At the core of our work is a belief that food should be grown with integrity. Garlic, scion wood, and every product we provide are reflections of that belief. By farming in ways that enrich the land rather than deplete it, we are contributing to a future where abundance is possible without sacrificing the health of the planet. For our customers, this means access to products that not only perform in the garden but also carry the assurance of being grown responsibly. Whether you are planting a handful of cloves or grafting a new tree into your orchard, you are part of a larger movement toward sustainable agriculture and self-sufficiency.
