Danvers Carrot Seeds

In the late 1800s, the Danvers carrot was carefully cultivated in its namesake town of Danvers, Massachusetts, and quickly became a favorite among home and market gardeners. Renowned for its adaptability, this variety thrives even in clay and heavy soils, delivering impressive yields season after season. Its roots, a rich and vibrant orange, are sweet, tender, and nearly coreless, perfect for enjoying fresh or storing for later use. Typically measuring six to eight inches in length, these carrots can grow up to ten inches in ideal conditions with deep, loose, and rock-free soil.
The Danvers carrot is easily recognized by its broad, tapered roots and exceptional versatility. It pairs beautifully when interplanted with onions and handles heavy soils with ease, thanks to its high fiber content.
 
This variety is not only heat-tolerant but also resistant to cracking and splitting, making it a reliable choice for gardeners in a range of climates. With its improved color, uniformity, and naturally sweet flavor, the Danvers carrot is a standout addition to any garden and a dependable crop for long-term storage.
