What We Grow

At Byrd’s Nest Box, what we grow is deeply connected to who we are. Our crops reflect generations of agricultural knowledge passed down through Black farming traditions. Each seed we plant honors cultural memory, nourishment, and resilience.

We specialize in heritage crops chosen for their flavor, nutritional value, and cultural significance.

Heritage Crops Rooted in Tradition

Natural Seeded Watermelons

Grown the traditional way, our natural seeded watermelons are rich in flavor and memory. These melons honor older growing practices that prioritize taste, seed saving, and sustainability.

Heirloom Okra
Varieties

Our heirloom okra connects us directly to ancestral gardens. These varieties are known for their tenderness, productivity, and importance in traditional Southern and African diasporic cuisines.

Nutrient- Rich Collard Greens

Collard greens are a cornerstone of Black foodways. We grow nutrient-dense varieties that reflect both nourishment and tradition, harvested with care to preserve flavor and quality.

Exotic
Peppers

Our diverse selection of exotic peppers ranges in heat level and flavor profile. Carefully cultivated, these peppers serve as the foundation for our small-batch sauces, jellies, and spice blends.

Grown With Intention

Every crop at Byrd’s Nest Box is grown with respect for the land and attention to sustainable practices. We focus on soil health, seed preservation, and methods that support long-term food independence for our community.

What we grow feeds more than the body. It feeds history, culture, and future generations.
