Growing recommendations
Sow from early spring to midsummer, 3/4” apart , ¼” deep in rows 12-18” apart. Keep the surface of the soil moist – carrot seedlings are slow to emerge. Keep them weeded too. If necessary, thin young seedlings to ¾–2" apart, depending on type or root size desired.

We're trialing and breeding new varieties!
This is the most challenging and thrilling part of our work.
The trialing allows us to test varieties of a same species side by side and determine which one(s) taste and perform the best.
Breeding and variety maintenance means selecting for traits that are desirable such as flavor, texture, disease resitance, earliness and hardiness, just to mention a few.
You're one of a kind
If you're not 100% satisfied with your purchase, let us know and we'll make it right!
But we'd also love to hear from you if you see something wicked cool in your garden or if you know of a variety in need of stewardship.
