About

We’ve grown and tried countless carrots in our quest to bring you the best flavour. These are next best thing to growing your own: fresh, sweet and properly carrot-y, with a delightful crunch.

UK Seasonality

Homegrown carrots are harvested in early summer as new season bunched carrots with their tops on. We can carry on harvesting until November and then store the main varieties to see you through winter and into spring. Later in the spring we may supply carrots from our Italian growers.

So incredible in texture and flavour they sent me into raptures

- Carol, Riverford customer

How to prepare

Enjoy raw, grated with lemon juice, olive oil and coriander leaves. Or thinly sliced and sweated until tender with a little butter and honey. Whatever else you do, don’t boil them to death! To intensify their natural sweetness, roasting is the way to go, whether you want a simple side, a mixed tray of roots, or a base for carrot soup.

Storage

Keep the carrots in the fridge.

Located on sandy land, the Farleys’ farm is perfect for potato growing – it’s their biggest crop at about 70 acres – followed by the root veg, beetroot and the artichokes.
