Cabbage Golden Acre is a time-tested heirloom variety prized for its early maturity and reliable performance across diverse growing conditions. Plants produce compact, densely-headed specimens weighing 3 to 4 pounds — ideal for home gardens and small-scale operations where space efficiency matters. The heads are uniformly round and tightly packed, with leaves that maintain structural integrity through harvest and storage. Flavor complexity distinguishes Golden Acre from modern hybrids — delivering a distinctive sweet-spicy profile with subtle buttery notes that intensify when cooked, making it exceptional for traditional preparations.

Germination Rate: 85%. Test Date: 8/25. OSI.

Why Choose Cabbage Golden Acre?

• Early Maturity: Ready in just 60–65 days — one of the fastest-maturing cabbage varieties available.
• Compact & Space-Efficient: 3–4 lb round heads perfect for home gardens, containers, and small-scale growing.
• Superior Flavor: Sweet-spicy profile with buttery notes that deepen and sweeten when cooked.
• Cold-Tolerant: Thrives in cooler climates and extends harvests into fall and winter.
• Heirloom & Open-Pollinated: Passed down through generations — save seeds year after year for a self-sustaining garden.
• Non-GMO Seeds: Plants whose DNA has not been altered in ways that do not occur naturally through traditional breeding methods.

Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Full sun — at least 6 hours per day for optimal head formation.
• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–6.8. Amend with compost before planting.
• Planting: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Transplant outdoors when soil temps reach 45–50°F.
• Spacing: Space plants 12–18 inches apart in rows 24–36 inches apart for proper head development and airflow.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist — inconsistent watering can cause heads to crack.
• Fertilizing: Apply a nitrogen-rich fertilizer early in the season; reduce nitrogen once heads begin to form.
• Support: No staking required — compact plants are self-supporting.
• Harvesting: Ready in 60–65 days. Harvest when heads feel firm and dense when squeezed.
