The Gilfeather is an egg-shaped, rough-skinned root, but unlike its cousins, it has a mild taste that becomes sweet and a creamy white color after the first frost. While the hardy Gilfeather turnip does well in nearly any climate, a touch of frost contributes to its unusual taste and texture. Developed and named after John Gilfeather from Wardsboro, Vermont, this turnip is one of the state's unique contributions to cold weather agriculture. Mr. Gilfeather carefully guarded his stock to ensure that no one else could propagate the vegetable. However, some seeds slipped by and a few folks have continued to grow the Gilfeather Turnip after Mr. Gilfeather died.

I am anchoring the Paradise Farmer's Market which is held at the town square on Wednesday evenings from 6 PM to sunset June 1st to September 28th 2011. You may also stop by my fields whenever you see my truck there and I will pick whatever you want right then. If I am not there, check to see if I left anything in a basket by the gate. I also operate a CSA family plan for those that live close and would like weekly deliveries.
