Carrots can be a challenging crop for many growers. Customers love them, but getting consistent results can take time and effort. In this workshop, we will take a deep dive into the many aspects of growing carrots throughout the year. Janet Aardema and Dan Gagnon of Broadfork Farm will share in-depth information regarding germination techniques, seeding densities and plant spacings, variety selection, weed control, pest and disease control, season extension, harvesting, post-harvest handling, and sales.
