Jersey farmers are growing four times more organic cauliflowers than they were three years ago, according to latest figures.
The figures come from Jersey Organic Association's second survey of fresh organic fruit and vegetable produce.
Since the last study in 2004, crops of locally-grown organic produce have grown significantly.
Crops of broccoli, carrots, green beans, potatoes, onions and spinach have all more than doubled since 2004.
Cauliflowers have experienced the biggest increase, as sales have risen by more than 400%.
But the survey says this might change in coming years, as the vegetable is difficult to grow.
By the end of 2005 about 405 vergees (74.5 hectares) of Jersey's arable land were devoted to organic growing, out of more than 31,000 vergees (5,690 hectares).
