| ON THE FARM 
We're seeing orange this Halloween! Our carrots are no small feat to get out of the ground. Covered in mud, we haul them out, wipe down each one, snap their greens and toss them in a bin. We stack the bins onto our tractor bucket to bring them to the packing shed. Once they're up in the packing shed we use our large vegetable washer to get the majority of dirt off. We give them a final spray on the table as we sort between juicers and regular carrots. The last step is to sort our carrots between sizes, weigh them into bags and send them off to market. It's a good thing they're so darn tasty! |

| CARROTS, CARROTS & more CARROTS! Carrots are the hot topic on the farm these days. Patiently we've waited for our rich clay soil to dry out a little to ease our carrot harvest. It's a labour of love, pulling blocks of soil out of the ground to dig through and find our carrots. Last week we finally pulled the last carrots out of the field! 
I have to say, these carrots were well worth the time, they taste absolutely amazing! Sweet, juicy and the perfect crunch. At market we sell our carrots three ways: - small carrots
- large carrots
- jucing carrots
Our small carrot bags have the sweetest little carrots that make a perfect snacking vegetable for kids. I enjoy the small carrots as I love to roast them whole with maple syrup or a little butter and herbs. Our larger carrots boast the same sweet flavour but I find them easier to use if they are cut up. Enjoy them fresh or grate and add to salads. When added to soups, chilis or stir-fries they add great texture. 
Juicer carrots are the same as our other carrots just a wee bit quirkier. Whether they broke in the bin, grew in a unique way or have a slight blemish these carrots are the same great flavour at a lower price! If you have a juicer these carrots are what you want. They also work wonderfully in soups, baking or any of the above mentioned ways. Whatever your preference be sure to grab some carrots this Halloween! |
