An artwork of mother Nature

On Tuesday the 10th of January, Krispijn van den Dries, organic (Demeter) farmer in Emmeloord for Nature & More, did a remarkable find. In a large bin with harvested carrots, ready to be washed, he found a perfect plait of three carrots in three different colours, created by mother nature. It's a beautiful illustration of the unique qualities of biodynamic products.

Krispijn van den Dries grows biodynamic multi-coloured carrots, which are derived from heirloom varieties. "I sow the seeds in a mix of three colour varieties", explains Krispijn. "Sometimes you see two carrots growing interlaced. But three is very rare. And in three colours, so neatly braided - I have never seen that!"

People who want to see this little artwork by mother Nature, should come to the BioVak trade fair in Zwolle (Netherlands) on the 18th or 19th of January, to the Eosta stand. After that, Krispijn will put it into traditional Dutch hotch-potch. "Such beautiful food shouldn't be wasted!" says Krispijn.
