Soil First
We build soil slowly, using compost, cover crops, and careful rotation instead of quick fixes. Healthy soil is the real engine of the farm.
Ezra Lee Farm started with a very simple idea: grow something honest, take care of the soil underneath it, and stay small enough to notice the details. Over time, garlic became the crop that made the most sense—hardy, flavorful, and deeply connected to the seasons.
Our work is deliberate. We plant by hand, tend our beds in small blocks, and give each harvest the time it needs to cure properly. The goal isn’t to grow everything—it’s to grow a few things well and keep learning from the land as we go.
The farm is built around the rhythms of the soil, the climate, and the people we feed. Every journal entry, every planting note, and every harvest decision is rooted in that ongoing conversation with the field.
The choices we make on the farm—what we plant, how we water, when we harvest—are all grounded in a small set of principles. These touch every bed, every season, and every clove of garlic we pull from the soil.

We keep the farm intentionally small so that every bed, every row, and every harvest can be managed with care and attention.
Our garlic is traceable back to real beds, real notes, and real weather. We want the people we feed to know exactly where their food comes from.
