Turmeric is a superfood that commands a premium price at farmers markets and through direct sales—with some growers reporting prices as high as $80 per lb! After getting it started, it’s relatively easy to grow. Farmer Michael equates it to an old truck: “It might take a bit to get it started, but once running, it will go all day with not much care or work.”

This Florida Red is a premium heirloom variety prized for its striking deep red interior and exceptionally high curcumin content. Unlike standard yellow turmeric, this red cultivar delivers a bolder color, richer earthy flavor, and enhanced health benefits, making it a standout choice for farmers, homesteaders, gardeners, and herbal enthusiasts alike.

Key Features:

  • Relatively Easy to Grow: Once it breaks dormancy, this variety hits the ground running and can yield several pounds per plant with minimal maintenance.
  • High Curcumin Powerhouse: Boasts superior levels of curcumin – the active compound renowned for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-boosting properties. Ideal for daily wellness rituals, from golden lattes to soothing teas.
  • Versatile Culinary Star: Harvest your own fresh rhizomes for grinding into a vivid red-orange spice that adds warmth and depth to curries, stir-fries, soups, and marinades. Its subtle bitterness and peppery notes pair perfectly with ginger, garlic, and coconut milk.
  • Medicinal Heritage: Rooted in ancient Ayurvedic traditions, Florida Red supports joint health, digestion, and respiratory wellness. Fresh or dried, it’s a natural dye for textiles and a gentle remedy for everyday ailments.

We Sell in Several Ways:


Growing Guide:

These robust, knobby rhizomes are easy to propagate once they break dormancy and can be successfully grown in northern Vermont (Zone 3/4) with proper care. 10-14 seed pieces per lb,spacing 12-18" apart in rows, 36" between rows.

Zone 8 and Warmer: Plant in spring after the last frost in well-drained, fertile soil enriched with compost. They prefer partial to full sun, consistent moisture, and warm temperatures (68–86°F). Space 8–12 inches apart, 2–4 inches deep, with buds facing up. Expect lush green foliage reaching 3–4 feet tall, accented by delicate white flower spikes in summer. Harvest in 8–10 months when leaves yellow – dig up the clustered rhizomes for immediate use or replanting.

Zone 7 and Cooler: Best grown in protected culture, large pots, or against a protected south-facing wall. See propagation tips below.


Propagation Challenges & Cool-Climate Tips:

Red turmeric can be tricky to start, especially from dormant rhizomes, as it requires consistent heat and humidity to break dormancy. Do not expect sprouts for 3–4 weeks (sometimes longer if conditions fluctuate). In USDA Zone 7 and colder, outdoor planting is not recommended until soil temperatures reliably exceed 68°F. For reliable germination:

  • Pre-sprout indoors in deep trays or bulb crates filled with moist peat moss or cocoa coir.
  • Bury rhizomes 1–2 inches deep, buds up, and maintain 75–78°F using a heat mat.
  • Keep medium evenly moist (not soggy) and cover with a clear lid or plastic to retain humidity.
  • Once shoots emerge (1–2 inches), gradually acclimate to outdoor conditions after danger of frost has passed.

Excellent Story
Format: Paperback
Charles Soule is without a doubt one of the greatest Star Wars authors around. With this comic he keeps the reader on their toes making it hard to set the book down. It is a definite page turner and easily one of the best comics Marvel has out out under the Star Wars name. An intriguing story, unforgettable moments, and packed with lore, Star Wars fans are sure to love The Rise of Kylo Ren.

Ben Solo’s fall is tragic
Format: Paperback
We don’t know much about Ben Solo’s past, but this comic explains a little bit more about why he is the way he is. It also explains that he didn’t do all the things he himself implies in TLJ. It’s a story of a young man who is lost because those he is supposed to trust betray him, which is exactly what Snoke/Palpatine want. It shows he didn’t really have a choice in the path he took and it makes his redemption at the end of the saga powerful, even if the last movie itself destroys the myth of Star Wars. I love knowing that Rey and Ben have always had a connection and I hope that is something explored more deeply in Episode X when they bring Ben back.

No Good Guys Here!
Format: Paperback
The Crime Syndicate are my favorite DC villains. However, I'm happy when their Justice League counterparts defeat them. I should have known this wouldn't be the case with their own title. It's interesting how the stories can still engage the reader knowing that the CS won't be sent back to their home base with their tails between their legs. All in all a very good read.
