CARROTS, CARROTS, CARROTS!

Curry & Company is starting 2012 entrenched in our rapidly expanding carrot program.  Our North Carolina carrots started a few weeks late due to cooler weather but we are now packing throughout the week.  This is our first season with North Carolina carrots and we’ve been impressed with both the color and the flavor.  They are all grown and picked in Ellerbe, NC and then we pack them at our packing facility in Statesboro, GA. If you’re a Southeastern retailer, our North Carolina carrots are regionally sensitive for you and we can provide you with local/regional merchandising support.

We are going to transition directly from our North Carolina Carrots to our Vidalia Sweet Carrots™ grown in the famed Vidalia onion growing region of Georgia.  Our Vidalia Sweet Carrots are specially selected varieties that grow sweeter than your standard cooking carrot.  The photo below was taken in late January and you can see we’re getting close to harvest.  Our Vidalia Sweet Carrots™ tend to be a bit longer and thinner than other full sized carrots – making them easy to eat and great for snacking.
