When it returned to the South in the 19th century, the single-ear-per-stalk crop could produce up to eight cobs per stalk. We are extremely happy to be able to offer it to you. Heirloom grains, with their rich history and genetic diversity, hold vital significance. These traditional crops safeguard our agricultural heritage, foster resilience in the face of climate change, and promote sustainable farming practices. Preserving heirloom grains ensures food security, nutritional diversity, and the conservation of cultural traditions for future generations.
