Heirloom carrots

Heritage Carrot Collection

Sweet, colourful, and full of character — our heritage carrot collection brings together some of the finest traditional varieties from France and beyond. From the early tenderness of Amsterdam Forcing to the deep, rich sweetness of Autumn King and Flakkee, each has been chosen for flavour, reliability, and timeless garden charm.

Close to our home here in Brittany, Nantes Scarlet represents the true French classic — smooth, sweet, and perfectly formed. Alongside it grow golden favourites like Jaune du Doubs, the delicate white Blanche à Col Vert, and the vibrant tones of our own J&L Heritage Carrot Mix, blending colour and taste in every row.

Whether you prefer neat, round Paris Market carrots for pots, or the sturdy, storage types like Danvers and Chantenay, these are varieties with real history — easy to grow, beautifully flavoured, and loved by generations of gardeners.

All our carrots are open-pollinated and naturally selected for their eating quality, resilience, and beauty. Sow a few rows and enjoy one of the simplest pleasures of the kitchen garden — sweet, crisp, homegrown carrots straight from the soil.
