| This CERTIFIED ORGANIC red carrot is so unusual and packed with health benefits, you should really try them cooked. Did you know that two things happen when the carrot is cooked? The colour gets stronger and the lycopene (the same compound that is in tomatoes) is then available to the body to help prevent the oxidation of cancer-causing free radicals. Atomic Red is slender and about 23cm(9") long. Matures in 65 days. (open pollinated seeds)

Back by popular demand! The finest flavour and so crisp and delicate that it actually has to be hand dug, not just pulled out by the tops. You can enjoy these as baby carrots (they colour up quickly) or longer at 15-20 cm (6-8"). Deep orange carrots are high in Vitamin A and sugars. (hybrid seeds)

Purple Haze
|
|
|
This stunning new variety was a 2006 AAS winner! Deep purple on the outside and bright orange inside, it has a lovely sweet taste especially when raw. Lightly stir-fry to retain a deeper purple colour. We recommend planting it after the May long weekend so it does not bolt. The roots are long (25-30 cm or 10-12") and slender with a graceful taper. Matures in 95 days. (hybrid seeds)

Rainbow Blend
|
|
|
| We have put three of our popular carrots into this one package for your eating pleasure. Your garden will grow purple, white, red and nice big orange carrots all in the same row. To get the full range of colours, add the seeds in the package to 4 liters of fine topsoil or starter mix and sprinkle down the prepared row. The full package will sow about 50 feet of row when it is done this way! It would be a shame to thin out the plants and lose some of the colour range.

| These big white beauties were a real standout in our field this summer. Growing to 25cm (9") and considerable thickness, they prospered in some hard soil that was not watered well. Not an eating carrot, they come into their own in soups and stews and our customers come back for more. The green shoulder is just chlorophyll and is perfectly edible. Matures in 110 days.
