MISSION
                                   Our mission is to bring our readers the uniqueness of the Mississippi Delta and to celebrate the
                                   lifestyle enjoyed here. With each issue we explore the music, art, history, and food of the Delta,
                                   giving credence to the notion that this truly is “the South’s South.” We strive to present the best
                                   of what our region is about from turnrows and hunting clubs, to debutante balls and dinner
                                   parties. Not bound by land and levees, we believe those who treasure the culture of the Delta
                                   will carry our way of life with them wherever they may roam.

                                                                                                                                                                                                     Delta
