That said, Bremer did note the beets over the winter were slightly on the smaller end. “I think a lot of that had to do with the wet weather and the hot summer,” says Bremer. “So they didn’t size up as well.”
Volume letting up
Candy cane beets
What Victory Farms did do this season for the first time was plant Chioggia or “candy cane” beets to round out its regular beet and gold beet crops. “It was our first year growing those and we got a few customers to take those,” he says. “We’re planning on growing those again next year. If we plant the same amount as last year, then we’ll be in good shape for the upcoming year. I don’t see a huge increase or spike in demand for them at this point.”
