This year was packed with plenty of exciting trade show action and there was no better way to close it out than with New York Produce Show! Ande and Rocio made their way to the Big Apple for their yearly trip and were able to connect with many of our amazing, east coast customers. As you can see below, the Babé Farms booth was as colorful as ever and made brighter by the addition of our brand new Ruby Ro-Minis! These will be available in limited quantities soon so keep an eye out. All in all, the show was a huge success and we look forward to exhibiting again next year!

Edible holiday decor is all the rage these days and what better vegetable to display than Romanesco! With its unique fractal pattern, Romanesco bears a modest resemblance to a Christmas tree. Add some radish ornaments and pomegranate seed lights and you’ve got yourself a stunning centerpiece for your holiday party!

Talk about a RAD wreath! Red and white radishes such as the French Breakfast, Sparkler, Sno Ball, Icicle, or Cincinnati make great festive garnishes and can even be used for stunning holiday arrangements like this wreath!

Holiday BBQ 2019
Each year our office staff puts together a holiday barbecue as a way of thanking our harvest/packing crews for all their hard work. The Christmas spirit was alive and well this year as our owners, Judy and Jeff Lundberg, graciously raffled off a wide assortment of gifts and grill master Ron Labastida made sure everyone was fed! Congratulations to our grand prize winners, Augustina Ramirez Palma and Alejandro Rojas Pacheco. They each took home a 65 in. Samsung TV! Merry Christmas to all 🎄🎅🏼

Glazed Carrots
by Williams Sonoma
INGREDIENTS
- 4 Tbs. (1/2 stick) (2 oz./60 g) unsalted butter
- 2 1/2 lb. (1.25 kg) small rainbow carrots, peeled and tops trimmed to 1 inch (2.5 cm)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup (2 fl. oz./60 ml) Madeira or dry sherry
- 1 cup (8 fl. oz./250 ml) low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 Tbs. sugar
- 2 Tbs. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley for thyme (optional)
RECIPE PREPARATION
In a large fry pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the carrots and stir to coat with the butter. Season with salt and pepper. Add the Madeira and broth, increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Partially cover the pan and simmer until the carrots are just tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
Uncover the pan and add the sugar, stirring well to combine. Continue to simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated and the carrots are glazed, 5 to 6 minutes more.
Transfer the carrots to a warmed serving bowl, sprinkle with the parsley and serve immediately. Serves 6 to 8.
