Cabbage Patch Kids began as handcrafted dolls sold at crafts fairs. They became mass-produced in the 1980s, when they reached the height of their popularity. They had a TV show, breakfast cereal, and inspired knock-offs like Garbage Pail Kids. Now handcrafted versions are sold at the original Babyland General Hospital in Georgia.

Each doll came with it's own birth certificate and was very unique because it had been crafted by hand. The doll first sold for $30, but as they became more and more popular the prices increased sometimes selling for $300.The dolls were first sold at craft fairs but later were sold from the Babyland General Hospital in Cleveland, Georgia. The facility still exists today and they still sell handcrafted dolls Cabbage Patch dolls for $200 to $400 dollars per doll.
