Collards with corn meal dumplings is a very traditional dish here in eastern North Carolina. I learned to make it from my mother, who learned it from her mother. My grandmothers and great-grandmothers also made collards this way, served with corn meal dumplings and sometimes potatoes.

The collards we grow is Morris Heading, which is an heirloom variety that was developed in Scotland County, NC back in the 1930s by Elisha Morris and his son, Fairly Morris.

The ones I grow are from my mom's jar of seeds, but I did a quick search online and found this seed company sells them. seedsnsuch.com/product/morris-heading-collard-seeds
