Collards: Past, Present and Future- Papermaking and Recipe Swap

For three years, the Duke Campus Farm cultivated the Jernigan Yellow Cabbage Collard as part of the Heirloom Collards Project, a national seed saving initiative with the goal of cultivating and preserving a wide range of collard varieties. On June 25th, the DCF will tell the story of the Jernigan Yellow Cabbage Collard at various stages of its growth, from seed to leaf to flower to hulls, and cherish their abundance through acts of art and consumption- papermaking, recipe swaps, and conversation. We hope you will forge, deepen or rekindle your relationship with collard greens during this three hour workshop.

We're eager to welcome local artist Catherine Cross Tsintzos to lead us in discussion and papermaking with collard chaffe and leaves, followed by dinner from Boricua Soul (with collards, of course) and a collard recipe swap. This event is free and open to all. We strongly encourage you to bring your own collard recipes and stories to share.
