Vegetables in a field by Church Farm
Rows of red cabbage alternate with rows of red kale. Cabbage is one of several cole crops, known as 'caulis' by the Romans and 'kaulion' by the Greeks. The cole family includes cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, collards, kohlrabi, and Brussels sprouts. Cabbages and kale were the first of the cole crops to be domesticated, presumably about 2,000 years ago, and are believed to originate from Western Europe whereas Brussels sprouts came into existence less than 500 years ago. Wild cole crops can be found growing along the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts of Europe. The vegetables depicted here are grown for the farm shop of nearby Church Farm.
