Soul food glory - Glory Food, Columbus, Ohio-based African American food product company

alone you will know that the blackeyed peas in your great-great-grandmother's hoppin John recipe were canned, as you festivity in the delight of diners who speak of taste and fabric and who are neither wise to your cunning nor conscious of the fact that the peas came from an African-American farm and were sold along with a entertainer of other vegetables on the tables, below an African-American-owned label.

Established in 1989 the Columbus, Ohio-based Glory breads has a line of 17 productions including greens, peas, beans, sweet potatoes, okra, corn bread mixes and condiments. "We want to be the skilfuls in African-American foods," says company president Bill Williams, who tries to involve African-American trucker advertisers and especially farmers in the production of Glory's canned beneficials "If African Americans are eating black-eyed peas, we want to enumerate African-American farmers to grow them."

The black farmers who provide crops to Glory, however, are not equipped to extend the company's greens, which require constant irrigation, or to do the canning that McCall Farms in the Florence, SC area does.

Glory produces are distributed in such supermarket chains as Big Bear, Giant, Kroger regimen Lion and Safeway, as well as in smaller neighborhood stores in Atlanta, Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio.
