Manchester Table Carrot

An Old English variety with good crack resistance, excellent full bodied flavour and strong tall tops. From a private collection in 2001, we loved it , but it wasnt until 2014 that we managed to bring it back into production on a scale big enough to offer in the catalogue. 

Carrot seed is a two-year process: You can see us laying out all the roots for selection of the correct size, shape and colour (the rejects are in a pile at the front). These are replanted and go to seed next summer – you can see how big they get , the bars in the polytunnel are 8ft off the ground.

Really tasty, really rare ….
