Awhi farm : Food : Purple rain must be effecting the food


These are all carrots
Preparing a meal at Awhi farm is a bit like embarking on a construction project.

One needs to decide what one is going to make, and then, go out and gather ingredients that are scattered across the property. It's like a great big dirt supermarket where everything is super fresh, but the isles are really badly labeled.

First thing that struck me was that a lot of the produce wasn't the colour I was expecting. There is a lot of purple veg out there.

Purple cabbage, kale, potatoes, and multi coloured carrots are the norm.

I'm told that orange carrots were developed by the Dutch, to celebrate their national colour. Carrots used to be available in all sorts of colours.
