It’s a belter

I’m always on the look-out for suppliers of large carrots, beets, turnips, radishes, etc. Stuff that’s too large or grotesque for human consumption. If you know a farmer in Southern Ontario looking to get rid of the stuff they can’t sell, point them in my direction.

I’ve read that carrots from agri-business are always enormous, then the get whittled down into those “baby carrots.” I buy the ones that look like carrots, now.

I’ve found that the japanese grocer usually has larger carrots than a typical american super market.

Roughly the same size as the ones they grow in Camberwell.

You’ve sent me down a rabbit hole, and I’ve spent way too much time watching this guy plant and harvest enormous onions, potatoes, and carrots that he’s disappointed in.
