Working People's Food Collective: Creasy Greens

http://workingpeoplesfoodcollective.blogspot.com/2010/04/creasy-greens.html

Working People's Food Collective. Bringing better food to everyone. Photo: My grandparents, Buel and Blanche Moss, on our farm in Cleveland, TN, circa 1960. Thursday, April 29, 2010.

Stopping by King's Red and White at the corner of Roxboro and Club.
