The Garlic Farm grows one variety. I think it's German White, a good choice but Northern White is better imo.
Ireland Farms, the source I gave you on the other thread has been the best vendor at Saugerties, and also the CT Garlic Festival. They will not be at the CT GF this year and I'm quite sure it is because the date is so late that they have had to save garlic for that event for the lasy few years, and there is always a mad rush to their booth when the fest opens on saturday.
The reason the CT fest is held so late is that they want it after but not too close to the Bethlehem Fair, which is too bad. It's a fun event and there is always good large garlic cheap.
Garlic takes a year or two to acclimatize to your conditions. NY state conditions are close.
Growing large bulbs requires virus free stock, and good soil with frequent deep watering helps. 8" spacing minimum.
If you want to try something unusual, try ivansnewgarlics.com you might ask him specifically about large bulbs.
I've gotten good stock from Filaree Farm, Hood River, WeGrowGarlic
