    We’ve grown these for several years now and are always pleased to harvest tons of carrots. We’ve tried other varieties but these have such wonderful smooth skins which make them so easy to clean, easy to peel and they are beautiful in color. It seems the hotter/dryer it is, the sweeter they get but even in a normal year they are sweeter than the others; very good flavor.

    Tasty and easy to grow. Smaller size = easier canning. grew side by side with Chantenay Red Core and this one produced more and tasted better.
