THE COLLABORATION
The Heirloom Collard Project is working for the recognition and respect of collards as a key component of American food culture, so their seeds and stories will never be forgotten.
We are a collaboration of collard-loving people and organizations – a crock pot of sorts, where the ingredients are each respected, but the true magic is in the potlikker.
Our work with the Heirloom Collard Project allows us to connect with like-minded people and organizations across the USA who are invested in growing, saving, and celebrating collards. It’s a great example of a collaboration that values all the separate partners, doing important work in their own regions, while also holding space for resource and knowledge sharing when it makes sense on a bigger scale.
The heirloom varieties that the Heirloom Collard Project are working with are used to inspired collard-related projects, from variety trials, to tastings, to recipe development, to artwork, to academic research.
