In the past, America was able to produce nearly all of its own garlic. However, the influx of Chinese imports ultimately led to the bankruptcy of three-quarters of US garlic producers. Despite this challenging landscape, the largest American grower, Christopher Ranch, has not only survived but has managed to thrive and expand.
The video takes viewers behind the scenes at Christopher Ranch to see how garlic is harvested, cleaned, and distributed. It explores the history of American garlic production, the impact of Chinese imports, and the innovations that have helped the company stay competitive. From the invention of peeled garlic to the rise of organic varieties, Christopher Ranch has adapted to changing market conditions to remain at the forefront of the industry.
One key factor in Christopher Ranch’s success has been its focus on quality and customer satisfaction. By producing high-quality garlic and developing new products like roasted garlic, the company has been able to carve out a niche in the market and cultivate a loyal customer base. Additionally, the video highlights the company’s participation in events like the California Garlic Festival, which help to promote the brand and connect with consumers.
Despite facing challenges such as new technology and storage issues, Christopher Ranch has proven resilient in the face of adversity. By embracing innovation and staying true to its core values, the company has not only survived the fall of American garlic but has emerged stronger than ever. Its story serves as a testament to the power of perseverance and adaptability in the world of big business.

A lot better than forced labor garlic from CHINA!
I guess vampires doesent work the nightshift there
Why not just sell bulbs. Americans need to put everything in a plastic bag .
Garlic is an aphrodisiac, one with a hairy brown bottom at that !
“I’m not sharing” aww
Always thought Garlic was a herb; not a vegetable
Trump tried to save garlic, what has biden/harris done?
Who the hell buys peeled garlic? It's so easy to peel farlic, takes 15 seconds and is cheaper.
How can we know these garlic aren't added with pesticides and chemicals while growing?
When I watched that docu about Chinese prison labour peeling garlic with their teeth I became self conscious about origin.
No store around me has them or I was support them
So an ex-president saved the garlic industry in the USA. WOW pretty impressive,
– Lobbies against Chinese garlic for destroying US garlic industry.
– Proceeds to sell Chinese garlic under its own brand to remain competitive.
"Cheap labour from south America is how this garlic producer survived"
Netflix staff is getting dumb day by day. Always spreading fake propaganda.
I buy Christopher Ranch garlic! It’s a superior product! And the Gilroy Garlic Festival is fragrant! The garlic itself is so fragrant – you know it when you’ve gotten Christopher Ranch. I didn’t know there had been a fall either.
why cant i smell this video?
Lol….. A mass shooting at a garlic festival? It isn't America if a mass shooting isn't involved. 🤡
Hope this guy visits Korea to taste our garlic… we are a garlic nation 🧄
christopher ranch garlic has been very underwhelmingany time i have used it
1:17 he looks like a younger Patrick Warburton
Oh look…another chinese cheap pile of shit that ruins our industry. NAFTA and Chinese deals helped us so much huh? Made Wall st trillions but destroyed the middle class.
"garlic means nothing to me" and looks back at his big garlic farm
this is more interesting than I expected :)))
This dudes vibes are not it. Something about him just screams “cocky douchebag”.
Also, what a complete and utter hypocrite! 😂😂😂
He says in the beginning that his company imports another countries people on a work visa (assuming because he refuses to pay a living wage) while at the same time speaks on how he lobbied to make sure the (oh so scary) Chinese garlic can’t cost less than his product.
This country is a JOKE!! The only time a monopoly is okay is if the company’s headquarters are here in America and the politicians are getting paid from it. So, thank you Business Insider. Now I know which company NOT TO BUY 😊
I have semantic satiation for the word garlic now
There needs to be a tariff on Chinese garlic. I don't trust ANY food grown in China, and you shouldn't either.
so basically those politicians want citizens to pay more by putting tax on import to help their 3 rich growers? and its definitely not about the labour working in those farms. cause most of the labour force are migrants.
Here in New Zealand i wont buy chinese garlic its either highly expensive New Zealand garlic or American Garlic
