Story: A True Classic

Some things are timeless—like a handwritten note, a good garden tool, or a carrot that’s been winning hearts since the 1800s.

Meet the Danvers 126, a true American heirloom born from the fields of Danvers, Massachusetts. Back in the late 19th century, local growers were on a mission: create a carrot with better color, more consistent yields, and a sweet, satisfying crunch. After rounds of refining, the Danvers 126 was the one they proudly passed down—and now, we get to pass it on to you.

With its bold orange color, tapered shape, and delightfully sweet flavor, this carrot is the definition of a garden staple and stores like a dream once cleaned—making it a go-to for fresh munching.

We love them roasted with olive oil and thyme, shredded into a carrot slaw, or just pulled straight from the fridge and crunched into like an apple. (Honestly, you can’t go wrong.)

This one’s got roots—literally and figuratively—and we think it deserves a spot at your table.
