You can find our delicious certified organic True Earth™ carrots in your favourite speciality organic store or supermarket.  In your supermarket they will always be packaged.  They have to be like this to prevent contamination and to allow the check out operator to differentiate our product verses conventential.  In your health store you usually have more of a choice -they may be packaged or loose by the kg.

Our delicious fresh certified True Earth™ organic carrots are best stored in their bag in your refrigerator.  They will last for weeks like this.  Our boys love these as a snack in their lunchbox.  In fact we have been amazed by the number of their friends that sit down with them and eat a big carrot quite happily for morning or afternoon tea.  How simple is that?

We are very excited now to be able to offer you a degradable carrot bag. They are still made of plastic; however they have an additive in them that allows the plastic to break down through oxidation into small fragments, which then decompose into the natural elements of carbon dioxide, water, biomass, and minerals.

In an ideal world we would prefer to not be using any plastics. However in order to maintain the integrity of our products we need to prepack for many of the retail stores we supply. We do not want our organic produce mixed up with conventional produce. We need to be pre packed and bar coded, so our produce is available to as many consumers as possible, and ensures us traceability.

For an easy, tasty organic vegetable roast, cut carrots on the diagonal, combine with diced, potatoes, pumpkin, and onions, toss with olive oil and rosemary, and bake at 200°C until tender.

Questions

When are your carrots planted?

Our True Earth™ organic carrots are planted pre winter and in spring to give the earliest possible harvest time in November.  We harvest from November through to March.

Why do organic carrots cost more than convential carrots?

All our carrot weeding has to be done by hand.  This can cost at least 50 times more per hectare to weed by hand than to spray with chemical herbicides.
