This agricultural corporation has created about 30 hectares of a dedicated veg-patch garden in the wide fields of Gunsan of the province near the Unbong Plateau (located at Namwon) to produce cabbage (with a brand name of “Mr. Yang”, which represents a man (‘Mister’) who marches out through the ocean (‘Yang’)) featured by a high sugar content and silky mouthfeel.

The Farm grows Mr. Yang cabbage as well as other high-quality vegetables that lend great taste in the large and fertile fields located in Jeollabuk-do, and is exporting them to Japan, Taiwan and so on including domestic merchandising.

Cabbage was first domesticated as early as 2500 B.C. by the Basques who lived in northern Spain. The vegetable grown and consumed from the period of Ancient Greece is one of world three longevity foods selected by the Time magazine.
The ancient Greeks ate cabbage as side dish that went well with liquor and medieval Europe used it to treat stomach pain or indigestion. In modern times cabbage was foraged out by newlyweds to take in juice form before spending their wedding night since it was known in folk medicine as energy booster.
