Wild West Virginia Ramps For Sale!
Fresh West Virginia Mountain Ramps (Wild Leeks) For Sale!
We are no longer shipping ramps for 2010! I hope everyone enjoys their ramps. 
It’s that time of year again in West Virginia. The fresh spring air is filled with the pungent smell of Wild Ramps growing deep in the mountains. A lot of people have been suggesting that I go out and dig some ramps for them. While I don’t mind doing this for a few people, the amount of people wanting the ramps has far exceeded my means of giving them away for only a shipping charge. I am now selling ramps, and will strive to bring you the cheapest price on the internet. How can I do this? Because I dig, wash, and package each pound of ramps myself to keep costs low.
Ramps appear first in their southern range in late March. The season finally ends in the far north in early-to-mid June.
The folk medicine reputation which holds both Ramps and Wild Leeks to be powerful healers turns out to be well deserved. They are high in Vitamins C and A, and full of healthful minerals and have the same cholesterol-reducing compounds found in garlic and other members of this family.
This is a seasonal item with selling dates ranging from March to Mid-June. If you can see the payment buttons below, then I have fresh ramps that are ready to be shipped!
I dig your fresh ramps each weekend. All orders are packed and shipped out Monday and Tuesday. (I don’t like to ship later in the week because I don’t want anyone’s ramps to have to sit in a mail warehouse over the weekend.)
All orders are shipped via USPS Priority Mail (2-3 day delivery) and all prices include shipping.
We are no longer shipping ramps for 2010! I hope everyone enjoys their ramps.Â

I wish that ramps grew wild where I live. Unfortunately, they don’t, and I have to rely on people like you to send them to me. One of my favorite times of year is Spring and a lot of that has to do with being able to eat ramps.
I can’t wait for my order to arrive!
Well Judith, I hope you enjoy your ramps! I will be sending them out to you on Monday.
I just wanted to know are your ramps sealed and iced? or are they just vacuumed? Also are you available in the coming years to provide more than 5 pounds in the future years to come? lett me know when you can.
My ramps are vacuum packaged, but they are not iced. They are dug fresh, washed, left to dry for a few hours, and then packaged. Yes it is possible that I could provide more than 5 pounds in future years. I could provide more than 5 pounds now, but I didn’t create a button for any quantity greater than 5 pounds. 5 pounds of ramps is quite a bit!
I can provide you with more than 5 pounds if needed. Use the contact button near the top of the page and we can work something out for bulk orders.
I recieved my ramps on Wednesday. They are gorgoeous! Thank you so much!
I look forward to my order, and I’ve let my mother know of your ramps for sale.
I’ll save this website and will get more ramps next year from you as well….that is…in case..I can’t wait until next year after I eat the ramps you send me. Take Care! Tell Wild, Wonderful, West Virginia hello for me and that I’ll be seeing her in June!
Thanks Denise! I’m sure that West Virginia misses you.
Is there any other kind of ramp than a West Virginia Ramp? Nope. The best come from WV!
Hi, I’m in France but thought it would be nice to order some ramps for mother down in South Carolina. Can I order now and postpone delivery until after the 17th of May. She is currently out of town but will be back by then.
Thanks, Steven Jackson in France.
I would have to freeze them, and I really don’t like to do that.
Received the ramps yesterday and will be cooking them this evening. Thank you Bucky! I’ll be sure to keep your email for next year’s crop and I’ll get them in March while they are smaller.
The bigger the better.
Notice how LARGE the bulbs are!
Just perfect on arrival.
Great! I hope you enjoy them.
Hi West Virginia Blogger,
I live in W.Va. to, and I was just wondering how much you want for a pound of these things? I heard my brother say he’d love to have some to plant and get started. He said he really liked them. He asked me about them and I told him I never heard of these things. They sorta look like onions with garlic tops..When you let me know, I will tell him I found him some ramps, if he wants them..
Thanks much,
Darlene
It’s too late for Ramps now. I do plan on selling more next year, starting in March…. weather permitting.
OMG!!!! My husband Loves Ramps and hasn’t had any for many, many years. Is there a way to oder in advance or a reservation list? I have just recently discovered this website and haven’t shared with him just yet. I would love to surprise him.
Currently there is no way to order in advance. The best thing I can suggest is that you bookmark this page and come back in March to order.
I would like to purchase some bulbs form you if all possible the fall so I will have some plants in the spring. I have a wooded lot in Roanoke Va
Would you be so kind & let me know when the rampsare ready for selling,I;d like to grow some up here in ny,We love onions,Garlic,ETC
Thank You very much
Roland
Ramps ! ahh the good old days .. that and Morel Mushrooms .. we used to pick those by the garbage bags full, nothin better than sauted ramps and morels!
But That was the good ol days when I lived in WV, I grew up in Morgantown, moved to Chattanooga, TN in 1989, last year I actually found some morels growing in my yard, I almost cut them up with the mower… I took me a sec to realize what I was about to cut up… wasnt very many just enuff for a meal, but I couldnt believe they grew this far south ! Im sure there are leaks here too .. I just havent found them yet cant wait till spring 09 .. more morels!
i was wondering if you would consider collectiung some polk seed for me. i live in WA state and it is not available here. I have searched teh internet for a place to find it but with no luck. I remember as a kid my uncle had some he grew. He got the seed when relatives cam for a visit. He sold his property & the feller that bought it erradicated teh plant not knowing that they were edible, before my Great Uncle was able to get some starts
Sure, I could do that. You will have to wait until late summer though.
Hey,
I was trying to get some ramps together for my wedding, which is going to be April 4th in Berkeley Springs…do you think ramps would be around and easy to find that time of year in Morgan County? Or should I be ordering some from you? (I’m from the Shenandoah Valley so I don’t know much about them…)
They should be all over the place by then… but I can’t say I’ve ever been looking for them in Morgan Co.
How can I oder Ramps?
Thanks,
DD

Thanks for your order Carolyn. I hope that you enjoy them!
/ hello i live in west vriginia and pickED some ramps @ my fatherinlaws farm and i wanted to put some up for the winter ,, AND HAD A FEW QUESTIONS IF YOU PLEASE COULD ANSWER??? CAN YOU FREEZE THEM?? OR IS THERE A WAY TO DRY THEM OUT AND USE LIKE SPICES WHEN NEEDED THANKS SO MUCH IF YOU HAVE THE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS I LOVE RAMPS SO MUCH! AND ENJOY PICKING THEM IN THE BACK WOODS OF WV , GOD BLESS YOU !
Yes you can freeze them, or dry them to a crisp (with a dehydrator) and crush them into powder.
Howdy Bucky,
Here’s what I’ll be doing with 1lbs worth of the ramps: http://www.norecipes.com/2008/04/29/ramp-kimchi-ramp-confit/ , split between the two recipes
(That kimchi recipe is GREAT on other veggies, like Korean vinegared cucumbers)
The other pound I’ll have to find something special like that pasta you mentioned your wife made.
Ramp Kimchi? That sounds interesting, for sure.
Hello Bucky, I was born and raised in WV but left 21 years ago. Until a few years ago I could always rely on my family back home to can some so they would be available on my trips back home. They seem to be harder and harder to find. I hope it isn’t too late in the season and they are not too big. I just ordered 2lbs.
Hi Pamela. They are getting quite large this time of year, but they haven’t started to flower yet. When they begin to flower, I stop digging them.
Some people (my family included) like the larger bulbed leafy plants. Others, would rather have the ramps before they leaf. It just depends on personal preference.
Howdy Bucky!
Just received my batch of 2lbs of ramp! They look good in the bag, will let you know how they are after I take ‘em outta the fridge and start to use ‘em! Thank you for the fast shipping.
I hope I can order another batch when my Chinese mother-in-law is in town, not sure if she’ll be here in time before they start to flower; but she’ll have all sorts of wonderful things to do with them and I’ll share the recipes with ya’ll.
I just placed my order for 5 lb.,I cant wait to enjoy!
I’m glad you got your order in Mary. This weekend will be the final weekend of ramps for 2009.
nononono I said I “placed” my order not “got” my order.
WOW the last week maybe I should do 10 lbs.
Could you do that?
I understand. That is why I said I was glad you “got your order in“. As in, got it in to me before the weekend.
We can work something out about another 5lbs. via email.
Hey bucky,
Got my ramps yesterday.Perfect size..Cleaned alot of them..I have e-mailed you some questions if you will.
Thanks
Mary
Will you be selling ramps this year? If so, how much per lb.
Thanks,
RGW

I try to keep one long enough to pick my nose or scratch my ass, which ever needs it first. That was a LOT of Ramps fer the money. Glad I found your site and will order more soon iffin you have them or next spring.
Just don’t pick your nose after you scratch your ass.

We had ramps, eggs and bacon for dinner last night. AHHHH thanks Bucky!!

Bucky, you the man! I’ve been a ramp fan for over 10 years now, and as an Ohio’n I have only had WV ramps one time. I spent 2 hours last Saturday looking for a place to buy the stinky rampers. I noticed that there were ramp festivals in WV next week. Hey, I’m addicted!!! told the wife we will be going to one of these festivals on Saturday and she squacked “You nuts? I’m not going 5 hours for ramps.” I told her it was actually 10 hours cause we would have to drive back home. But I was determined — with or without my rampmate I was going! Anyway, I searched the internet for 2 hours last Saturday and found nothing close. HEY, I NEED MY RAMP FIX!!!! We have sub-standard ramps in Ohio which really sucks. Then I found your site and bought 2 lbs. Got them Wensday afternoon and I must say our Golden Retriever went crazy (he has good taste, but he won’t get my ramps.) We had pork chops smothered in ramps and baked beans just to add to the symphony. BUCKY, best ramps I ever ate. It’s 1:30am and I just finished preping my ramps for a paste-day-resistance (sic) when I plop all those stinky suckers in the crock pot with a 3 lb. chuck roast. I’m crazy now (not high – just savoring the taste from last evening) anticipating todays savory feast. Even better, at work tomorrow, no one will want to be around me (probably Friday too.) Life is good right now!
I want to party with you cowboy, so you can show me how to find and/or grow them suckers.

Just received a supply of the Goodies out here in Montana from a friend! To say the least, it will sure help get the Spring Fever started after 7″ of snow yesterday.Can’t wait to eat a “mess” !
I live in the valley (L.A.) and have a community garden. Learned about ramps on the Food channel,
and want to grow them. Is it too hot for them here? We have months at a time with 90+ heat. Can
I plant them and let them multiply to come up in the spring? Any info appreciated!
Just made my order today and look forward to those stinkin things. Haven’t had any in a few years. Boy I miss WV.
It’s the same ‘ol WV.
Wild and Wonderful.
Received my order today, me and the wife ate some with a sandwich.
All I can say is thank you very much Bucky; for a true Almost Heaven, West By Gawd, Wild and Wonderful Blessing.
You’ve Made My Day!
Great Ramps and mmmmmmmmm need more next season. If I’m still alive by then.
I’m starting a Ghost Hunting Club here in Reno, NV. It will consist of seniors. Plan on calling it: Senior Haunting Investigative Team of Reno NV. Or S.H.I.T. for short. If your having Ghost problems, we will help clean it out or wipe it up. Keeping them on the run.
hi, i’m from ohio and i have some ramps of my own in my backyard and i wanted to sell them to some local restaurants, but i was wandering how much they usually sell for per pound.
