Description
Father Garfield Hinchen holds both his granddaughters, Denisha and Tanika, while they watch their pigs eat. Sussie, the largest pig, is pictured in the center. The background depicts old scraps of wood pallets and posts around the property. This photo was taken on his property at 24618 Garfield Street. Garfield's one-acre land housed chickens, pigs, and crops like black-eyed peas, okra, and collard greens. He sold eggs and occasionally brought meat to a Mill Street location for processing, storing it in lockers for pickup. He also plowed fields by hand.
