Description

The dependable heirloom that shaped America’s carrot fields. ‘Danvers 126 Half Long’ produces uniform, conical roots about 6–8 inches long with a rich orange hue and excellent flavor. The texture is crisp and sweet, ideal for storage, juicing, or cooking.

This variety tolerates heavier soils better than most and resists cracking, making it a consistent performer for home and market growers alike.

Developed in Danvers, Massachusetts in the 19th century and refined in 1947, it remains the standard for reliability—a classic carrot for every gardener’s row.
