Fresh Corn

Nightowlz — Sun, 23 Jun 2024 21:40:30 GMT

DH saw a couple guys selling fresh sweet corn. He bought a bushel. It's so sweet we ate a piece right off the cob.

He will be back with watermelons in 3 weeks.

Making creamed corn for dinner.

@Nightowlz Delicious! We don't have any local sweet corn yet in eastern PA; probably not for a few weeks. However, with the heat we've been having, it may come earlier. The grocery stores have "fresh" corn, but it must be from down south. Enjoy!

I live in Illinois and it is corn country. 🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽

The corn from the family farm where I buy mine will be ready in about 2 weeks! I cannot wait. Best corn on the planet!

We have bought corn in the grocery store once that was good. The rest so far has had no flavor.

The fresh picked corn DH picked up is really good.

Same with the watermelons, We have had a few pretty good watermelons. Have thrown away 4 so far.

Enjoy! Nothing like fresh sweet corn from your family farm. Everything you grow always tastes better.

Just to make sure, it is not my family farm, but a smaller, family owned farm that grows lots of wonderful veggies and sells them.

I am afraid if I tried to farm I would probably starve!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Haven't bought corn on the cob at the grocery in years.

I was buying from our local open air market but switched 2 years ago. A few guys at our local VFW have been getting fresh picked corn and selling it same day. Same with a few other root vegetables.

Their profits support their local VFW out reach programs.

@4kitties The only fun part of farming in my book and my dad's book was driving all that big roaring equipment around! Now THAT is a blast!

It's not corn time here in WI yet, bet that corn was delicious.

Growing up, my mom always boiled the corn in a pot of milk. It came out tender.

When we lived closer to town the farmer next door planted a type of swwet corn called butter sugar, yellow and white kernals. We were able to just go pick some. Nothing like corn straight from the field to table in minutes. Good grief was that corn good.

I got a notice that Georgia sweet corn had arrived at our farmer's market here in WI @SaveTheTurtles. It got rave reviews. Typically, we wait until late July for locally grown corn.

There is a local farm where I get fresh corn. They usually have white or a mix of white and yellow. It is so good! It won't be available for probably several weeks but last year they had it well into September.

I'm going there tomorrow to pick up a few things and I'm going to ask about the corn! I can't wait!!🌽

@piperbay hmmm. I've never heard of this, I am going to try it! We usually do it in a bit of water in the microwave or out on the grill. Yum.

Had corn few weeks ago and it was delicious. Picked more up today at grocery but the price knocked me over - $ .69 an ear.
