PROJECT DESCRIPTION
What is a ‘poke’ sallet? What was life like on a 1920’s farm? Hundreds of stories and photographs collected and archived from senior citizens resulted in the book, FOOD FOR THOUGHT: ROCKINGHAM COUNTY STORIES OF SUSTENANCE, containing old-timey recipes, photographs, and original stories about rural life over the last century.

MEDIA
“Whether raising a barn, celebrating homecoming at church, killing hogs or priming tobacco…throughout the century, food was an integral part of most every Rockingham County event. So important that a group of Rockingham County citizens compiled a book of food memories that serves as a living history of the county.”
– Greensboro News & Record
“Interviews with farm families make this … book special. While Food for Thought focused on various aspects of food-from growing, canning, curing and cooking to preserving, fishing and hunting-it’s also about family, caring and growing up in different times.”
