How to Grow Garlic for Profit
JM Fortier’s complete system for growing big, beautiful garlic, from planting to a crop you can sell for months.
Garlic is money in the bank. If you grow it right.
Garlic is one of the most rewarding crops a market gardener can grow. It’s planted in the fall when the season slows down, it gives you two harvests (scapes, then bulbs), and once properly cured, you can keep selling it for months.
But with garlic, technique changes everything. The difference between an average crop and large, uniform, marketable bulbs comes down to a handful of decisions made at the right time.
This course gives you JM’s complete garlic system: the full step-by-step video module from the Market Gardener Masterclass, his illustrated field guide, and a printable technical sheet.
Is this course for you?

You grow for yourself and your family, but would be interested in bringing in some income by selling your extras.

Established Farmer
Your farm is running, and you want to add garlic to your production the efficient way.

By the end of the course, you will be able to:
Start with the right seed, selecting and saving the biggest, healthiest cloves year after year.
Plant efficiently, with JM’s spacing, depth and planting sequence, so a 100-ft bed takes two people about an hour.
Keep your crop on track all season, with a low-maintenance approach that saves you hours of work between planting and harvest.
Turn harvest day into a well-oiled operation: know exactly when your garlic is ready, and follow JM’s harvesting method so your team works faster and smarter.
Cure and store like a pro, so your garlic keeps and sells for months.

What a 100-ft bed of garlic is worth on JM’s farm
600 heads | ~$900 from the bulbs | close to $1,200 with the scapes
Figures from JM Fortier’s farm in Québec, at about $1.50 per bulb, assuming the full harvest is sold. Your results will depend on your yields, prices and markets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tell me more about the course
What’s included in the course?
The complete garlic video module from the Market Gardener Masterclass, Field Guide: Garlic, from Planting to Storage, and a full technical sheet.
I already have the Masterclass. Do I need this course?
No. The garlic module is already included in the Masterclass.
Do I need farming experience?
No. The course works whether you’re planting your first bed of garlic or your hundredth.
Will this work in my climate?
JM grows hardneck garlic in southern Québec, planted in the fall and overwintered under straw. Garlic needs a cold period to form full-sized bulbs, which is why fall planting works so well in northern climates. Every situation is different: climate, soil and markets all play a role.
