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.

Rainbow Blend

We have put four 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.

Scarlet Nantes

Our Scarlet Nantes are hand-harvested seed grown in the Northwest with care and attention.

Strong tops and great flavour.

Snow White

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 a carrot for eating raw, 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. If soil is mounded up over emerging shoulders, no green will appear. Danvers type.
