Just wanted to add that the best place is a stand near Frog Island Seafood, I don't think it has a name. They keep their collards stuck through big lattice work into water, keeps the leaves from wilting. It was $1.50 a head for collards, $2 a head for cabbage. There's a couple of others selling collards on flatbeds now but some of it doesn't look good. Also somebody is selling sweet potatoes by the box.
I'd keep the collards in a trash bag in the frig, cut the leaf off the stem, wash and cut the big leaf vain out the middle by going around it with a knife or pull it off. Cook the leaves down in a big pot with water a little salt, pepper and butter until they turn dark green in about an hour. You can freeze the leftovers.
