Boro F1 beets.
Beets are truly a must-have crop: easy to grow, dual purpose and eye-catching, this vegetable offers something for everyone. With options for both fresh market and storage, High Mowing’s collection of organic beet seed can help you achieve your best crop yet. Modern, adaptable varieties offer growers options for fresh market beet sales with red globe-types like Detroit Dark Red, a tasty and attractive market standard, and Boro F1, an extra-sweet variety with reliably strong, healthy tops. Because they’re quick to mature and boast vigorous tops, growers rely on these trusted varieties for filling spring and early summer slots. Equally reliable and bred for organic production, we love the Rhizoctonia-resistant Shiraz for its excellent yields and distinguished flavor. Offering durability in storage without losing flavor, Rhonda F1 is a perfectly round red beet that stays smooth and firm over several months. The industry standard Red Ace F1 is flexible for fresh harvests or storage, and is a favorite of Steve Pincus at Tipi Produce in Evansville, WI: “Our go-to workhorse variety. [Red Ace] holds very well in the field, and is good for six months of winter storage.” (It’s also newly available as a convenient pelleted seed!)
Guardsmark Chioggia beets.
The best specialty beet varieties, aside from their attractive shapes and colors, have a milder, sweeter flavor that is good for eating raw. Popular Guardsmark Chioggia, a strain of the pink-and-white striped Italian heirloom, offers growers uniformity and bolt tolerance, while Touchstone Gold has solidified its place in commercial production for its dependable yields and gorgeous golden roots. Whether you choose beets that are storage or fresh market, classic red or specialty, High Mowing’s dependable varieties will have you covered no matter where you grow.  Happy Growing!
