Vigna unguiculata
100 days. Geechee red peas are a cowpea with deep roots in Africa, grown by former slaves on many plantations in the South as their culinary heritage, which came over in the 1800’s. We grow these Geechee red peas to bring back precious lost seed diversity and to raise awareness to the tumultuous history, including theft of their land, that Black people have endured for generations in the south and beyond, long after emancipation.
