Sugarloaf cabbage
Sugarloaf cabbage is a sweet, water rich variety of cabbage and is fantastic cut up fine and eaten raw in a salad.
We do our best to grow several varieties of cabbage at Broom and Brine Farm. Some cabbages are very sweet and crunchy, and are fantastic roughly chopped and eaten raw. Others, particularly red cabbages, are more fibrous and better chopped finely. All cabbages are good roasted! And they all love vinegar and salt.

When we was researching sugarloaf cabbages and their origins, we came across some info about a town in Germany called Leinfelden-Echterdingen that celebrates Filderkraut Fest.
As we suspect none of us will be venturing to Germany to chug beer and dance at Filderkraut Fest soon, we thought we’d attach a pic ~ and this rich, butter, bacon and cream Swabian sugarloaf cabbage cake ~ because its cold ~ and its dark.

We welcome the Sugarloaf cabbage into the box. We love roasting all our vegetables and, as we’re pretty obsessed with the miso & mustard combination, were excited to find this recipe for miso-mustard lightly roasted sugarloaf. Its good.
Tony, from Rocky Top Farm in Penna, grows Sugarloaf cabbages in lutruwita that are infamous ~ and we're really happy to be participate in the local love of Sugarloaf, and to be growing this sweet cabbage for you folks.
In Germany a variety of Sugarloaf cabbage called Filderkraut is very popular and prized for its large, long shape and sweet leaves.
At Broom and Brine Farm we dont grow the Filderkraut variety, but we certainly appreciate its gigantic form, its history and its popularity! The Filderkraut cabbage makes famously good sauerkraut.
