Did you know? · Soil to Supper

Did you know?

Did you know, if you saved some root crops in the ground, you could have been eating fresh produce tonight?

I did. There are summer carrots (yummy baby carrots that people reject because they are too small) fall carrots (that people reject because they are too big) Winter carrots that people reject because they can't believe locally grown carrots can be stored well in people's basements) and spring carrots (that people reject because they believe a spring carrot will be mushy)

Do people even like carrots?

Garden carrots are my favorite vegetable (eaten raw) but I understand if you think you don't like carrots because your experience is eating bitter carrots grown with chemicals and dipped in bleach unless you are getting them from a local farmer. (Aka: me!)

I forgive you.

Just come to Orchard's Landing Paisley and try these sweet, delicate carrots before Peter Rabbit gets his fill!

My filmer likes cooking so we cooked the ones I didn't eat raw. Mm. All good.

Top with sour cream! That was supper tonight!

And oops, we did eat it all. Barely enough for 2 hungry people. Ha ha.

Yes, these were in the ground 24 hours ago.
