Cabbage for All

Cabbage season is upon us. Here at Terra Firma Farm, we grow thousands of pounds of cabbage throughout the fall and winter. As it seems we are straddling summer and fall, it is a refreshing, crisp green to enjoy with your fall dishes. We grow three types of cabbage: Green, Purple and Savoy. The Purple and Savoy will show up in the next couple of months, but right now we have Green available in the CSA store in 10-lb cases for $15. The heads are a nice, medium size, so there will be about four to a case. Store them in your refrigerator with a plastic bag or not, and they will keep well for a month or so.

Sauerkraut Season

If I could define 2020, it would be "Year of the Food Projects". Yes, there are a lot of other words you could use, but I think we could all use a positive spin on things these days. Now that cabbage is available, I recommend you try out a sauerkraut recipe! Sauerkraut is made by essentially dousing shredded cabbage with salt, and allowing it to ferment for weeks or months. The process produces a tangy, crunchy treat that is best used as a side dish or topping. If you really want to dive deep into the process, I recommend The Art of Fermentation and Wild Fermentation by Sandor Katz. Not a ferment person? Try your cabbage in a soup, stir fry or salad.
