Last week we welcomed both summer cabbage and Chinese cabbage to the Farm Store. They are both delicious - crispy, juicy, and just perfect! Our summer cabbage is more tender than the storage cabbage we grow in the fall, making it perfect for eating raw, while the crunch of the Chinese cabbage is just marvelous in any salad or stir fry.
