Caribou’s Peter Edgecomb discovered this hand-shaped carrot recently when he was harvesting the last of his garden. He had several large carrots that were breaking as he pulled them out, but dug around this one to unearth it intact. Edgecomb had been taking the unusual vegetable on a tour of Caribou, getting a chuckle from all who see it “firsthand.”
