Collards in North Carolina
2005
The collard plant has flourished as an important
garden food crop in the U.S. South since the early
nineteenth century because it is able to endure hot
summers and still thrive in winter, when it is harvested
and consumed as greens. The uneven geographic
pattern of collard production in North
Carolina calls into question claims that the collard
is a ubiquitous Southern food crop. It is still
the dominant winter garden crop on the North
Carolina Coastal Plain, but fewer patches are
being planted and consumption of collards is
waning, especially among young people. Commercial
collard production is increasing to satisfy the
demand of older folk.
