RE: Market Friday Farmers Market
Carrots origiannly came in a variety of colors, but not orange. In the 17th century, Dutch farmers bred carrots to be orange in honor of William of Orange, who led the Dutch independence movement. Great photos BTW, especially the carrots!
Thanks thats somehting i never knew :)
Thats true @kunschj! From what I heard, Purple was the original color. Checking out Herloom carrots online will give a good idea of what they used to look like. I also like the carrot photo too, they are setup perfectly for that!
