The Soul of the South is it’s People!
Living in the South and being raised in the South is a privilege. Food has long been our passion. We love our BBQ, sweet tea, fried chicken and collard greens.
We love college football, fishing, hunting, festivals and bake sales. I noticed driving to Florida and glaring out the window how extremely rich our land is. I couldn’t help but admire all our beautiful peaceful land. The irrigation, fields that had just been plowed, cotton and farm land. It all brought me back to sweet memories growing up in a small town in the “South”.
I thought about all the things that make us Southern –
Mason Jars, Muscadines (great for fruit, jam, jellies and wines), Pickled Okra, tomatoes Sandwiches, Story Telling, Our Humor, Good Ole Music, Shade Trees, Porch Swings, Fresh Garden vegetables, Boiled Peanuts, Dirt Roads, Fresh Cream Corn, Home Made Biscuits and our genuine Love for our family and friends.
I am so proud to be a Southerner!
Give us your ideas of what memories you have of the South!!!

Amy…I have so many memories of growing up in the 50’s in that beautiful little town called All-Benny..all dogwood and azaleas..and magnolia trees…I agree that story telling is a great tradition of the south..and probably one reason so many great authors hail from Dixie..the ability to paint a picture with words…the flair for drama that most southerners have..especially the older generation…one thing that comes to mind..related to food..my grandfather..never one for understatement..when waiting for the meal to be served.,.instead of being hungry…was “just about to perish”..
