Carrots can be found growing in the world. Carrot seeds can also be found in {{ll|Cracked Vessel|cracked vessels}}.
Small patches of carrot crops can be found while exploring, in areas with the following temperature, precipitation, and forestation. 
{{Climate
|MinTemp=5
|MaxTemp=24
|MinRain=0.35
|MaxRain=0.75
|MinForest=0
|MaxForest=0.6
}}
Chunks meeting these conditions have a 4% likelihood of generating 0-10 carrot crops, which might include a mix of mature and immature crops.
<br><br>
Surface ruins and underground ruins usually contain 1 or more cracked loot vessels, which might contain crop seeds.
5-7 carrot seeds can sometimes be found in a [Cracked_vessel#Seed_Vessels|Cracked vessel (Seed)].
<br><br>
Carrots and carrot seeds cannot be purchased from any [Trading|traders].

Carrots can withstand temperatures between -10 and 32°C but can only grow if the temperatures are positive. They require 1.2 months (10.8 days) to grow at default 9 day per month settings, and go through 7 growth stages. Carrots use up 40% K nutrition (Potassium) from their farm plot. Break the crop using left mouse button with an empty hand, a {{ll|knife|knife}} or a {{ll|scythe|scythe}} to harvest. When fully mature, crops yield multiple carrots and at least one seed when harvested. Harvesting immature plants yields fewer carrots and may not provide a seed.
Carrot crops tolerate temperatures -10 to 32°C, but only grow when above 0°C.  If the temperature drops below -10°C or exceeds 32°C, the carrot crop will become “stunted” and begin to accumulate damage. Stunted carrot crops will yield 75% of normal when harvested.  
<br><br>
Carrot crops consume 40 K (potassium) over 7 stages of growth.  Stages 1-4 look identical, but can be distinguished by the info overlay.  During stages 2-6, carrot crops feed bees and butterflies. Carrot crops take 1.2 months to mature, assuming a growth rate near 100%.  Low [[Farming#moisture|moisture]] or [[Farming#Soil_nutrients|nutrient levels]] can significantly delay maturation.
<br><br>
Each block of mature carrot crops will yield 9-13 carrots and 1-2 seed packets.  Harvesting at stage 6 will yield 2-4 carrots, with a 99% chance of getting 1 seed packet. Harvesting before stage 6 has a 0% chance of getting any carrots, and a 70% chance of getting 1 seed packet.

Carrots provide 100 vegetable {{ll|satiety|satiety}} when eaten raw. Carrots count as a vegetable for {{ll|cooking|cooking}} and can be used in meat stew, vegetable stew, soups and porridges. They stay fresh 21 days if you keep them in your inventory. After that, it takes 4 days for them to turn into {{ll|rot|rot}}. A full stack of 64 carrots will turn into 32 rot. Carrots are preserved longer when stored in a {{ll|storage vessel|storage vessel}} in a {{ll|cellar|cellar}}. They can be further preserved through {{ll|Food preservation#Pickling|pickling}}.

Carrots can be put in a large [[trough]] to breed [[Animal_husbandry|livestock]].  Pigs and sheep consider carrots a treat.<ref>See <code>assets\survival\blocktypes\wood\trough-large.json</code>, line 97</ref>

* [https://www.vintagestory.at/forums/topic/6214-homesteading-part-2-combat-update-stable-1160 Version 1.16.0] doubled growth times and yields for most crops, with some exceptions.

== Notes ==
* Jan-Jun, if the temperature is 0-21°C at 4pm, it’s good for planting carrot seeds.
* Carrots are a decent crop to focus on for a [[Health#Increasing_maximum_health|balanced diet]].  They have higher yield when stunted than most crops, but use the same nutrient as flax, making crop rotation more challenging.  Also, the best [[fertilizer|fertilizers]] aren't easy to obtain in great quantity.
