Rutabaga is new to my Farm this year. It was not my favorite as a child, but an important crop for the Contraband Slaves to grow in the font of Fort Monore to help feed Union Soldiers and Major Benjamin Butlers during the Civil War. A very important crop to trade with Free Citizens and Native Americans in North Carolina and South Carolina.
