Rainbow Carrot Mixed Pack

Can’t decide which carrots to grow? We’ve got you covered with our mixed pack that includes both a stunning Cosmic Purple and delicious orange nantes!

Cosmic Purple – Deep purple to reddish skin and classic orange on the inside these carrots really stand out. Stunning bicolour when you grate them over salad or slice them into rounds. They are sweet with just a hint of spice. Developed by Dr. Philipp Simon and staff at the USDA ARS in Madison, Wisconsin in 2005.

Touchon Deluxe – A bright orange, round-tipped nantes variety French heirloom with excellent flavour & colour that is great for storage.

Carrots are difficult to grow for seed here on the coast because they cross with the wild carrot, Queen Anne’s Lace.  So we are tapping into our organic seed grower community to offer these seeds:

Cosmic Purple seed is grown by Winnow Seed Co in Krestova BC (home of the Syilx peoples).  Touchon Deluxe is grown by Woodgrain Farm in the Kixpiox Valley, northwest BC (home of the Gitx̱san and Wet’suwet’en peoples).

It takes a community!

70 days to maturity

Direct sow carrots 1/4-1/2″ deep April- July. Make sure to keep seeds damp throughout germination which can take up to 3 weeks in cooler temperatures. Thin carrots to 1-2″ spacing, with rows 6-12″ apart.
