Actually, I already have my cabbage for making saurkraut this year,
but I am looking for a source for next year.

I live in Prior Lake, Minnesota, a town just south of Minneapolis
metro area. Previously, I had lived in Duluth and I was always able to
get kraut cabbage up there. Since moving south, i have been unable to
find it around here and had to travel north again. Of course, the
cabbage I get up there is grown in southern MN, so it kind of defeats
the purpose.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Reply to my e-mail
address with any suggestions, as I do not monitor this group.

Thanks in advance

Try either the Mpls or the St. Paul Farmers markets. The St. Paul
market is downtown (Wall St) on Saturday and Sundays; the Minneapolis
market is at I-94 and Lyndale (Exit #230 -- take 35W downtown, go
through the tunnel, and it's the second exit after the tunnel). The St.
Paul market also has satellites at Mary, Mother of the Church on
Thursday afternoons (noon-5:00 -- I didn't go yesterday.) The St. Paul
market also has a set-up at Diamondhead Education Center (Burnsville
Parkway & Nicollet ) on Saturday mornings for another couple weeks, I
think, from 7:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. For all that valuable information, do
I get a jar of the finished product? (^*;^*)

Jeez, I didn't notice the guy's note about the email. Tsk, tsk. I'll
mail him and tell him I posted info.
Kraut cabbage is a later cabbage -- I don't know a varietal name for it,
but there is some that makes better kraut than others. So I'm told by a
guy I know who makes it.

No my time is not so much more valuable then your time, I was only following
"nettiquette" by informing the people in this newsgroup, how they could
contact me. In addition, I did not think the response would be of much
interest to others, due to the specifics of my request.

Now, to answer your question: "kraut cabbage" is also known as winter
cabbage. It is generally not ready until late in the year. The heads are a
little larger than the normal cabbage found in stores, but no always. Once
you cut them open, you then see the difference. They are mostly pure white
inside, and very little spacing between the leaves. generally, 50 pounds of
kraut cabbage will only be about 8 heads.

That's about it. I will quit now so I don't take up any more of your time. -
(My apologies to the newsgroup - I hope you understand)

That's not quite how it read, though. Literally, it read as if you were
saying "I can't be bothered with your community, I take but do not
give."

Think about what would happen if everyone posted a "email me" message.
Schhhlappppp... empty group, except for sterile questions, no discussion
whatsoever. Public post is public discussion.

But you don't *know* that. I for one was interested in such a thing.

Ah. Of course. In Northern China they call winter "the season of white
vegetables."

OK. I didn't think of it in that respect. And of course, I wrote the other
message to the group in anger.

My apologies to you all, including Bob.

Time to get back on topic.

We have a winner! They have it posted on their website that they are
selling kraut cabbage for 19 cents a pound. This really works out
well, as my daughter only lives about two miles north of Bob's, so I
am in that neighbirhood quite often. I will aslo check the farmers
market in Burnesville tomorrow morning as well.

Thanks to all who responded.

See? And you didn't think anyone here would be interested in the info.
:-)
Glad to have been of help.
