Hepworth Farms Local Organic Red Beets, Bunch

Nature's sweetest vegetable, ruby-hued beets are always at home in salads and sides, and make a tantalizing addition to savory main courses—try roasting beets with other hardy root vegetables when cooking squab or pheasant. Save the tender greens for a delicately flavored accompaniment—slice finely and sauté with olive oil, onion, and garlic. Established in 1818, Hepworth Farms is one of the premier organic growers in the Hudson Valley. Under the direction of sisters Amy and Gail Hepworth, this FreshDirect Partner Farm serves as a leader and inspiration for responsible and sustainable agriculture.
