Description

Cabbage Golden Acre (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) is a famous heirloom variety dating back to 1927, celebrated worldwide for its rapid maturity, compact habit, and exceptional quality.

Its space-saving footprint makes it the premier choice for small gardens and early-season plantings, yielding sweet, crunchy heads perfect for fresh summer slaws, salads, stir-fries, steaming, and kraut.

Good to know

Exceptionally early maturing, producing solid, harvestable heads in just 60–65 days from transplant
Compact footprint allows for tighter plant spacing (12 inches apart), maximizing yields in limited garden space
Highly resistant to Cabbage Yellows (Fusarium wilt) and slow to bolt in early summer heat

Firm heads should be harvested promptly upon maturity to prevent splitting if heavy rains follow a dry period
Outer leaves require monitoring or floating row covers early in the season to protect against flea beetles and cabbage worms
