According to an article from www.PelhamToday.ca, someone dumped a load of cabbage on the property of Wilowhead Family Farm in Elora, Ontario.

The cabbages were all cut in half—and no, the farm nor its neighbours were expecting a delivery.

Checking security cameras, the farm owners found that it was “delivered” by a waste management truck on Tuesday, November 19 @ 10 AM.

The waste management company has said it has no idea about that drop-off and is working with its operations department to determine where the cabbage came from and perhaps why it was delivered to the Wilowhead Family Farm. The farmers are cash crop farmers and specialty cut flower growers and do not need cabbage.

They questioned neighbours who raise pigs to see if the delivery might have been for them but learned that their pigs don’t eat cabbage. A quick check with local farms with cows also turned up empty.

Wilowhead Family Farm said that if anyone was missing a delivery of cabbage, they were welcome to come and get them still, but if no one came forward, they would just end up composting them.
