Hi everyone,

I have been approached by a local grower wanting me to grow baby carrots for her for the restaurant business.  She figures she would need around 300-500lb/week.  I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with growing baby carrots.  I'm wondering about what an average yield/100ft row would be, also planting dates to ensure a continuous harvest all season?  Any suggestions on varieties?  I'm thinking Napoli and Yaya.  Thanks in advance.

Jen, in PEI
