Please do not complete the survey. It was interesting to learn from these questions/answers over these past few months. But, all good things must come to an end! We are no longer accepting new surveys, nor entering into the drawing for free garlic. We

What is your level of garlic production or interest?

I plan to plant a little in the garden for use in recipes. Fresh garlic is the best!

I have a small garlic plot for both home use and farmers' markets.

I have a large garlic plot (1/2 acre or more) for both home use and farmers' markets.

I raise a lot of garlic and sell mainly online or to large buyers (wholesale, retail, restaurant, etc.).

None of the above. (Feel free to e-mail us if you have good info to share about this topic!)

How do you feel about "certified organic" garlic seed vs organic or naturally grown?

I will ONLY consider "certified organic" seed, and can't/won't buy uncertified even if it's organically grown.

I would PROBABLY buy organically-grown garlic seed, even if uncertified.

I would DEFINITELY buy organically-grown uncertified garlic or naturally-grown certified garlic.

None of the above. (Feel free to e-mail us if you have good info to share about this topic!)

How much garlic might you buy in 2010 for planting?

2 to 4 pounds (2 Sisters has a 2-lb minimum to maximize shipping value for our customers)

5 to 7 lbs

8 to 12 lbs

12-25 lbs

25-50 lbs

50-100 lbs

100+ lbs

None. I'm just browsing the 'net today.

What varieties of softneck garlic seed are you looking for?

Hot/spicy

Medium

Mild

I am not planning to buy softnecks.

I don't know yet.

None of the above. (Feel free to e-mail us if you have good info to share about this topic!)

Would you pay more for "certified organic" garlic than for organically grown or certified naturally grown?

Yes, I would expect to pay more for certified organic seed because I know there are fees/costs necessary for certification.

Yes. I can/will ONLY buy certified garlic, so will have to pay a higher price if I buy at all.

No, I would not pay extra for certified despite the extra costs certification requires of the producer.

None of the above. (Feel free to e-mail us if you have good info to share about this topic!)

What varieties of hardneck garlic seed are you planning to buy in 2010?

Hot/spicy

Medium

Mild

Easy-to-Peel, regardless of heat

I don't know yet.

I am not planning to buy hardnecks this year.

None of the above. (Feel free to e-mail us if you have good info to share about this topic!)

How important is "pretty" to you...must your bulbs be washed/cleaned or is uncleaned ok?

I want my garlic to arrive clean and pretty! Due to extra labor, I expect cleaned bulbs to cost more.

Since it will be for seed, I would gladly accept a little dirt, especially if it saves me money!

Cleanliness doesn't matter to me. Ha ha! Just kidding...you know what we mean. :-)

None of the above. (Feel free to e-mail us if you have valuable comments!)

Would you be interested in an Assortment or a Grab Bag?

Yes, a Grab Bag would be fun and would prevent me from having to choose varieties...easier! (Note: Grab Bag contents would not be labeled by variety)

Instead of a Grab Bag, I would be more likely to buy small amounts (half pound or more) in several varieties so I would know exactly what varieties I would receive.

I am not likely to be looking for multiple varieties.

None of the above. (Feel free to e-mail us if you have valuable comments!)

Are you most interested in hardnecks or softnecks?

Softnecks, because of their longer storage life (in general)

Softnecks, because I like getting a variety of sizes of cloves per bulb.

Softnecks, any other reason.

Hardnecks, because they have more uniformly-shaped cloves.

Hardnecks, because they have stronger stalks/necks.

Hardnecks, any other reason.

I will probably grow both hardnecks and softnecks (and maybe Elephant, too!)
