Delta My Home

Delta Dirt.com was established as a way to remember and honor our forefathers and foremothers who stayed with the land and fought through the hard times and heart breaks this land often dealt. Most never lived long enough to share in the delta’s wealth. Many of their contributions have gone largely unnoticed and unappreciated. We want to change that.

Some ask what is delta dirt? A fair question. If you have to ask you may never figure it out. In my mind delta dirt represents a sense of place and a time of reflecting on the hard work, plain living, sweat, wit, grit, and spit that it took to bring the delta from the hard life it dealt to the prosperous life it offers today. The old shacks and farm-house are now gone leaving no trace of the past.
