This fifth book of the Encyclopedia of Norfolk Virginia History-Geography reveals a forgotten time and place, when most of the land comprising today’s Norfolk, Virginia was farmland, and crops like strawberries and spinach dominated the landscape, supplying northern cities with the season’s earliest produce. The Agriculture of Norfolk covers in exhaustive detail the history-geography of Norfolk’s rural past, the produce that flourished, the farmworkers who picked the produce, the Freedmen farms of the Civil War and the removal of squatters from them, the agricultural fairs, and the system of truck farming that moved produce from farm to Market Square and beyond, all presented through contemporary historic articles, deeds, maps, photographs, and other documents - truly an excellent resource and reference for a great city’s completely lost farming tradition. (Available exclusively from NorfolkHistory.com)
