During July and most of August we do bunch the fresh beets,
but also bag the beets up for later in the year

Bagged Beets are Grown by:

Beets

Beets
   

Beetroot's are a excellent source of Iron and a good source of Vitamin A, Niacin, Riboflavin, B6 and C.

When cooking beetroot's, leave 1 inch of the stem attached and boil in the skins. The skins will slip off easily in the final preparation. We use no pesticides, fertilizer or herbicides on our beets. We bag our beets in 3 and 5 pounds for fresh eating or processing.

 

Bunched Beets (grown by Market on 12)- No Sprays have been used.

The varieties we are growing are: Bull's Blood, Centurian, Red Ace, Big Top, Golden, Rodina (cylinder), Forno (cylinder) and Chioggia.

The Golden beets are yellow inside and do not bleed like red beets when cooked

Chioggia has striped interior with rings of pink and white.

Cylinder beets tend to cook faster than round beets especially when the round beets are large. They also cut up nice for pickles.
