The Turnip Patch 43/52 - a photo on Flickriver

            Yesterday we went to the annual Gilfeather Turnip Festival in Wardsboro Vermont.  There were numerous vendors there and one was selling turnip patterned bandanas for dogs - so of course I had to get them for my crew.  I must say, that I do not like turnips at all, but I tried the turnip soup that they were selling and it was very good!  Below is a little history about the Gilfeather Turnip:

The Gilfeather family came from Ireland in1 863. Then purchased their farm in Wardsboro., Vermont. John Gilfeather was the eldest of their seven children. He never married but lived with his brother William in the family homestead. The first record of his “Gilfeather” turnip dates to the early 1900s, when he began bringing his 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’s still some debate about whether the Gilfeather turnip is a true turnip… it’s the shape of a rutabaga, but white like a turnip, with a taste that’s a cross between the two. The current owners of the original Gilfeather Farm, located on Gilfeather Road in Wardsboro, Vermont, still grow a patch of ‘Gilfeather’ turnips each season. In 2016, Wardsboro Elementary successfully lobbied the state government to make the ‘Gilfeather’ turnip Vermont’s official vegetable.
