Small acreage leads to specialty crop

RUPERT, Idaho — Jana and Geoff Yockey didn’t start out with garlic in mind when they moved from Florida to return to farming. It was circumstance that led to their Garlic Gods operation.

Jana grew up on the family farm that her great-great grandfather homesteaded in south-central Idaho. She moved to Florida for business in 2013. Raised by his grandparents, Geoff grew up on a small farm in Tennessee. The family moved to Florida when he was 12.
