Discover the Garlic Farm

Nestled in the heart of the Island, visit or stay at The Garlic Farm in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Explore acres of beautiful, organic farmland, see the garlic growing when it’s in season and meet their pasture-raised goats and cattle.

Enjoy delicious, garlicky dishes at the award-winning restaurant, which is also a great spot for seeing red squirrels. Browse the shop and stock up on garlic-infused products to take home. A selection of The Garlic Farm products can also be purchased on board and in our shoreside Wight Taste cafés.
