Cotton Patch Goose
The Cotton Patch Geese on The Button Farm is a natural weed eater and therefore was used by Southern cotton farmers, during but especially after emancipation of slavery, to weed between the rows of cotton. The geese are now almost extinct but were in abundance in the South up until the 1950s. The Button Farm has 6 Cotton Patch Geese and is preserving the woven history with this heritage breed during the African slavery era. /photo by brown.girl.farming. thecolorofood.org
