Rare seed of the month - March
Cabbage 'Tancook Island'
An heirloom winter cabbage with a remarkable story of resilience. Originating from the small fishing communities of Tancook Island in Nova Scotia, this variety was carefully maintained by island families who relied on it for dependable winter food. Selected in a harsh climate of cool summers and salty winds, it has proven itself exceptionally hardy and reliable.
Plants form medium to large, dense, heavy heads with crisp, tightly layered leaves and excellent internal quality. Its firm texture and natural sweetness make it ideal for sauerkraut, slaws and hearty winter cooking. Once harvested, the solid heads store beautifully for months, making it a superb choice for gardeners seeking true self-sufficiency.
