Abstract:

Leonard and Nannie Mae Jordan built and owned Jordan’s Fruit and Produce Market in 1960 as an open-air curb market on South Cannon Boulevard in Kannapolis. The market boasted the freshest collection of cantaloupes, white cucumbers, and sweet corn in the Carolinas. In this article, the author describes her memories of the family farmer’s market.
