The Sweetness of Winter

We sampled some of our fall seeded carrots and enjoyed the wonderful sweetness enhanced by the cold winter weather. Many crops survive the winter by building their stores of sugar, which feed the plant during low-light days and freezing nights. Sugars also prevent the plants from freezing as sugar water has a lower freezing point than pure water. We enjoy taking advantage of the work of nature! 

Paris Market carrots, Albino beets, and Danvers Half Long carrots brighten a winter day
