We plant seeds bred for their sweet taste, small core, and optimal color/vitamin content. We harvest them while they're still young and tender.
We grow a special variety which yields a smaller, thinner carrot. They are harvested a bit premature, cut into 2 inch pieces and peeled. They are not made from a full size carrot. If you will compare the core of a full size carrot with the core of a baby-but carrot, you can see a huge difference. The core of a baby cut carrot is very small, which usually means the carrot will be sweeter. They are not genetically altered.

Carrots are a root, meaning they either want to store water or supply it. In the refrigerator, they try to supply it. Soak them in a bowl of icy water for a few minutes and the whiteness should fade.
No, we do not use any carrots that have been produced through biotechnology.
Baby carrots are made by cutting and shaping larger carrots, which involves removing the outer layer or peel. This process gives baby carrots their smooth, uniform appearance but also means they lack the natural protective peel that whole carrots have. Filtered water is added to the packaging to help maintain their bright orange color and crisp texture throughout their journey from our fields to your local store and finally to your home.
