Ziplock bags of fresh field peas

The story goes that when Sherman’s army burned down the plantations, livestock and crops of white slavers’ they left the sustenance farms of the enslaved untouched. The field pea went from food only fit for enslaved Georgians to the primary source of nourishment for everybody.

A hot, humid summer means sweet field peas and melons in August. I’ve never flown with a melon but can say ziplock bags of farm fresh field peas travel well.
