Our Story

Fresh Perspective began in 2019 as a family-run business with a simple ambition: to make exceptional black garlic.

Founder Leland Harmell believed that creating a better product started with doing things the right way from the very beginning—sourcing high-quality garlic, investing in the right equipment, and taking the time to master the craft.

What started as a vision has grown into a thriving operation producing 4,000–5,000 pounds of black garlic every month. Today, we offer a growing selection of non-GMO commercial and organic-grade black garlic products, made with the same attention to quality that started it all.

But we’re not interested in simply making more. We want to keep making it better.

As Fresh Perspective grows, we continue to explore new ways to bring the naturally sweet, rich umami flavor of black garlic to home cooks, chefs, food manufacturers, and anyone looking for a fresh perspective on garlic.

And we’re just getting started.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: start with exceptional garlic and create exceptional black garlic.

We source high-quality, North American-grown garlic and transform it through a carefully refined process designed to develop the deep, naturally sweet and savory flavor that makes black garlic so unique.

We’re passionate about introducing more people to black garlic and showing just how versatile it can be—from everyday cooking to commercial food production.

Above all, we strive for consistency, quality, and craftsmanship in everything we produce.

Our goal is to become the gold standard for black garlic products in the United States.
