Do not wake the Sauerkraut - 09/24/2011
On a recent Saturday morning the members of station 3-11 undertook an annual tradition of shredding of the cabbage for sauerkraut. For over 40 years, this late September event includes a full day of work, a little bit of cabbage (6 tons), some salt, and an awful lot of love. The 6 tons of cabbage yielded about 1,590 gallons of sauerkraut (a little less then normal) that will be used for our raw sauerkraut sales and for our annual sauerkraut dinner.Raw sauerkraut sales will begin on Saturday, November 26th, and will be available every Saturday until January 1st. Sales are available at the Upper Leacock Fire Company on Saturdays from 9AM until 4PM. Please look for our signs out back!
