An extremely rare local heirloom. Tancook Island Cabbage was continuously grown on Big Tancook Island in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia since the seeds were first brought there by German settlers in the 1700s until the 1990s. This long season, robust, round, green head-cabbage is primarily known for its storage capability and for making sauerkraut- spawning the Tancook Island Sauerkraut industry that thrived on the island for a century. Tancook Island Sauerkraut is part of Slow Food’s Ark of Taste, highlighting its regional significance. This cabbage is unique and definitely worth growing! Start seeds in mid-late April for fall harvests.
Approx. 25 seeds per packet.
