Carrots

Carrots suit well-drained soils and can thrive in cooler seasons or upland sites. Local sales often focus on fresh or bunched carrots at farmers’ markets and groceries.

Carrot production requires well-cultivated fields free of large stones to avoid misshapen roots. Farmers who manage irrigation carefully can produce sweet, firm carrots that attract a loyal customer base. While official data show only modest acreage, carrots hold popularity among families and food service buyers who appreciate their nutritional value. As health trends continue and schools emphasize fresh produce, carrots maintain a reliably positive market outlook, albeit on a smaller scale than some other vegetables.
