Rutabagas (sometimes called Swedes in parts of the world) are fairly similar to turnips, with a slightly bitter flavor and a yellower interior. They are a root vegetable, and actually a cross between turnips and cabbage.
Joe and Amy Rohrer own and operate Boy and Girl Farm in Waxhaw, NC where they grow around 10 acres of vegetables year-round using no-spray growing methods. They believe vegetables to be the healthiest food to consume on a daily basis and love the joy and pain involved with farming. Joe started working on farms as a teenager and quickly realized that growing food for people is what he was passionate about and wanted to do forever. He loves working in the dirt and has a natural instinct for caring for the land. Amy is a 4th generation farmer and has deep roots with the soil. In her early 20's she knew she wanted to come back to farming and began work at other farms. At one of these farms, Joe and Amy met, married a few years later, and started their own farm.
