Carrots

I love secarroteing the kids in the shareroom snatch up the carrots to snack on while their parents pick up their vegetables for the week. You will see carrots in the share starting early in the spring and lasting all season. 

Storage tips:

Keep carrots away from apples as they will react and become bitter. Carrots store best without the tops. Keep in fridge in a container or plastic bag.

Peppers (sweet)
