A Legacy of Southern Comfort:

• Generations of Goodness: Developed by the Virginia Truck Experiment Station and beloved for over 70 years, Vates Collards are a heritage hero, prized for their large, tender leaves and exceptional resilience. These aren't your tough, bitter collards; they're melt-in-your-mouth masterpieces!
• Bolt-Resistant Champions: No need to rush! Vates Collards boast natural resistance to bolting, extending your harvest season and ensuring a bounty of flavorful leaves until the first frost. Patience is rewarded with platefuls of southern sunshine.
• Frost-Kissed Delights: Unlike most greens, Vates Collards thrive in cooler weather, their flavor actually intensifying with a light frost. Embrace the autumn chill and reap the rewards of even sweeter, more delicious collards.

Quantities: Choose Your Southern Bounty:
