Cabbage grows best at cooler temperatures, along with other cole crops.    We offer standard and Chinese cabbage varieties.

The varieties we grow are:

• Early Flat Dutch – Large, 6-10 pound heads have a flattened shape.  Excellent for sauerkraut.  85 days to maturity.
• Ruby Ball – An early-maturing variety with deep red, 3-4 pound heads.  An All-America Selections Winner; the heads resist splitting and stores well after harvest.  70-80 days to maturity.
• Stonehead – This All-America Selections Winner produces green, nearly round, 2-2.25 pound heads.  The heads are rot resistant and hold well.  50 days to maturity.
• Tropic Giant – Huge, 15 pound heads are produced on this variety.  A heat tolerant variety; great for coleslaw & sauerkraut.  72 days to maturity.

• Blues (Chinese Cabbage) – A Napa type variety that is slow to bolt.  Tender leaves are good for cooking and pickling.  57 days to maturity.
