How cabbage is bought
Early cabbage earns its money in a narrow window when nothing else is available, and late storage varieties earn theirs months after harvest. The buyers differ, the specifications differ — head weight, density, storage life, suitability for pickling — and the timing is everything. A single page describing the farm reaches neither, so the crop is sold at the field gate to whoever turned up with a truck.
What we build for a cabbage farm
First, separate pages for early and storage varieties, each with head weight, density and storage life. Second, pickling and processing suitability, since processors are a distinct and reliable buyer. Third, monthly availability from store, which is what lets a wholesaler plan winter supply. Fourth, forward contracting enquiries, so the storage crop is sold on a plan rather than into whatever price February produces.
