Garden-to-Table Carrot Recipes

Pulling a carrot from the ground is one of the elemental pleasures of gardening. You push the foliage aside, grip near the base, and draw the root upward… And there it is, still warm from the soil, dusted with earth, smelling of something green and mineral and completely alive.

No carrot you’ve bought in a plastic bag has ever smelled like that. It’s the smell of something genuinely fresh, and it’s the first reason to grow your own.
