Cabbages

Our heirloom & heritage cabbage varieties, some of which are so tender that they border on being buttery, with mellow spicy flavours that vary with the seasons. And they are all so different! The sweet little ‘Early Copenhagen Market’, then space-saving ‘Early Jersey Wakefield’ and incredibly tasty ‘Golden Acre’, & amount many we grow. In every case there was a fascinating quality difference, which is one of the main reasons why we garden to grow our own!
