A Field of Greens

Photo by Elaine Rackley: Bill Kincade of Locust Grove has a quarter of an acre of collards, turnips, kale and mustard greens growing in his backyard. The crop is his winter garden. He plants different vegetables in his spring garden. 

A former Riverdale barber, who cut hair in Clayton County for 54 years, now grows collards, kale, purple top turnips, and curly leaf mustard greens, in neighboring Henry County.

Bill Kincade once owned Crossroads Barber and Beauty shop, at the intersection of Ga. Highway 138 and Ga. Highway 314. Now, at his 6-acre farm in Locust Grove, he grows greens, vegetables –– mostly greens –– in a one-acre garden behind his Locust Grove home.
