Bagged and beautiful summer Napoli carrots $2 for 2 lbs. These are summer grown carrots so not as sweet as fall carrots. I love these for soups and broths as they pack a but stronger flavor than sweet carrots. They keep beautifully and are especially nice to chop and store frozen for quick fall soup making. If you are interested in purchasing a bag please let me know! They can be picked up at Cooper Autoworks in Edwardsville or I can arrange to meet you.

This article explains exactly why we purchase seeds from small and independent seed producers such as Baker Creek, encourage biodiversity on my little farm, and focus on heirloom varieties our garden.

Behemoth agrochemical companies are failing to deliver what farmers need to grow and what people want to eat.
