Collard Valley Cooks

In the early 1900s, Albert and Lucile Benefield moved to Collard Valley. They had a simple and happy life together and raised their family there.
Granny and Albert had five children. They taught them the value of hard work, love for God, and the joy of food. Granny served steaming bowls of collard greens and cornbread; they all shared stories and laughter.

As Tammy, one of their grandchildren, helped her Granny in the kitchen, she learned the art of cooking. Tammy's mama was also a fantastic cook and baker. Her mother taught her even more about cooking than her granny did. As Tammy grew up and started her own family, she wanted to carry on those traditions.

Tammy began her own cooking show, Collard Valley Cooks. She wanted to teach others how to make homemade meals with fresh ingredients, just like Her Grandmother had taught her.
Through Collard Valley Cooks, Tammy kept her family traditions alive. She used to love and care for every dish, just like Granny would have wanted.
