This precious variety began with the extraordinary breeding efforts of John Gilfeather of Vermont in the early 1900s. Thanks to the efforts of a couple of savvy seed savers, it is now the state vegetable of Vermont and has been boarded on the Slow Food Ark of Taste. Sweetest of all rutabaga and turnip varieties, with a mild flavor and crisp texture. We’ve had them sliced into rounds and stir fried with the greens in our home and they take on a fluffy, light texture with a nutty-potato like flavor. They hold their texture when cooking well. You can mash em like potatoes, fry em, put them into soups and stocks or puree them. A truly versatile winter ingredient for the kitchen, it’s completely phenomenal. The green themselves at the size we’re harvesting them are sweet, tender and packed with deep brassica flavor. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHere’s a snippet from Mother Earth Gardner article “…when Wardsboro farmer John Gilfeather began bringing the bulbous, sweet turnips to market. They became so popular that it’s said Gilfeather would put notices in newspapers to announce his crops were available for sale, advising they should be preordered because they were going to sell out. There was nothing else like it…”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFull article here:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttps:\/\/www.motherearthgardener.com\/profiles\/gilfeather-turnip-zemz18fzsphe\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePictured Right \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoasted Gilfeather Turnabaga with Scallops \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJolie - Raleigh, NC \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChef Eli Hayes \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Seared scallop grenoblois (brown butter with lemon, parsley, and capers) with brioche croutons and roasted turnabaga.
