Black Dirt Region Rainbow Carrots, Bunch

Colorful, crunchy and very sweet! These multi-colored carrots are lovely to look at and even lovelier to snack on. We suggest enjoying them raw, either as part of a festive crudité platter or shredded in a salad. If you must cook them, do it quickly — their colors fade the longer you cook them. The Black Dirt Region, spanning southern Orange County, New York and northern Sussex County, New Jersey, is home to family-owned farms situated on thousands of acres of deep, richly organic soil — the result of ancient glaciers melting, river overflow and plant decay. The lush valley is best known for its production of the prized "black-dirt onion," as well as other root vegetables.
