An Island farmer with 544,000 kilograms of cabbage in storage is hoping people get a sudden hankering for coleslaw. "We supply cabbage to the coleslaw market and if the weather is nice outside people would be going and grabbing that cup of coleslaw from the grocery store. Employee laid offThey have already had to lay off one employee because of poor cabbage sales, but they hope business will pick up when more COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. It's not just selling the cabbage itself just to the grocery store or a Chinese food restaurant. It's the wholesale part of our cabbage ... 25,000 pounds a week of cabbage is what was normally going out the door."
