Christopher Ranch has been cultivating its own garlic seed for over 50 years calling it Monviso, as it originated in the Piedmont region of Northern Italy. Christopher Ranch has nurtured the heirloom seed line and preserved its exceptional quality. Most other growers have drifted toward better yielding varietals which are significantly less flavorful, making Monviso the only commercially-grown heirloom garlic in the United States.

Located in a very rural area just outside of Denair, CA their town is jokingly called Burroughsville. Rosie and Ward Burroughs farm organic almonds and operate an organic pasture-based dairy.
