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
