Charleston Wakefield Cabbage was the dominant cabbage of coastal SC in the late 1800s. It was the preferred cabbage for making kraut in the south for its tenderness and fine texture.
This cabbage originated with a grower at Martin's Point, SC (Wadmalaw Island). As with many older open pollinated varieties, despite its superior flavor and other attributes, its fragile nature and tenderness was its Achilles’ heel when it came to shipping great distances. It took a while to get this crop up and running, here at Bradford Farm, but it is here now and has become a favorite among our chefs!
