'‘Moses Smith’ Yellow Cabbage Collard' Collards

Sub-Category:

Sub-Category 2:
Description:	Heirloom collard from Moses Smith, and African American grower in Scotland Neck, North Carolina. Mr. Smith originally purchased this variety from a nursery in Franklin, Virginia but has stewarded it for many years since. This variety made its way from Mr. Smith to the USDA seed bank, Seed Savers Exchange, and eventually to the Heirloom Collard Project. Light green to blue green wavy leaves on green stems. Amirah Mitchell of Sistah Seeds has ancestors from Scotland Neck, and worked with the Heirloom Collard Project to take this on as an ancestral variety, since her paternal grandmother's side of the family is from Scotland Neck as well, and she has collard loving people on all sides of the family. She'd make collards with her grandmother at gatherings. Hear more about her connection to this collard variety and collards in general on our Seeds and Their People podcast at minute 13:45: HERE. Read more about it from the Heirloom Collard Project HERE.
