You've heard of Pandora melons, but what about Pandora cabbages and peppers

Posted by Fred Steiner on July 24, 2012 - 9:33pm

By Jake Dowling Icon intern
Peppers and cabbages are not your typical planted crop, but for Bill Suter, cabbages and peppers are king.

“I wanted to grow cabbages and peppers to somewhat diversify the farm,” he says. “But a small portion of that are vegetables, most of it is corn and beans.”

“You just have to weather the storm,” says Suter, whose farm is on Road Q, between Bluffton and Pandora. Suter grows cabbages and peppers to go along with the other vegetables on 500-acres that he farms.
