News arrived today that Fermented Food Holdings, parent company of Great Lakes Kraut up in Bear Creek, is expanding the plant there to become the largest sauerkraut producer on the planet. In addition, the company is moving its headquarters from Florida to Madison. It sounds like some tax breaks from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation helped seal the deal.
In an interview with FFH's CEO Jorge Azevedo, he notes that they source 90% of their cabbage locally. I had no idea cabbage was such a big crop here in Wisconsin.
