Danvers Carrot Seeds

Danvers Carrots are a true American heirloom—bred in Danvers, Massachusetts in the 1870s and still beloved today for their crisp texture, strong carrot flavor, and impressive versatility. Growing 5–6 inches with a tapered tip, they perform beautifully in most soil types and maintain their rich flavor beautifully even through cooking. A reliable, no-fuss staple for any kitchen garden that delivers season after season.

Growing Instructions: Direct sow in early spring as soon as soil can be worked, or succession plant every 3 weeks through early summer for a continuous harvest. Thin carefully to 2–3 inches. Flavor sharpens and sweetens after a light frost.
