My daughter stopped at a local farm stand yesterday morning and corn was $5 a dozen.

She got 6 ears. We had some last night and it was really good. I will use remaining ears for corn chowder.

This was all yellow.  I really prefer the bi-colored.  Years ago our neighbor planted some bi-colored, it was called Butter and Sugar. He said if you want corn help yourself. DH would walk down the road, pick it, husk it and it went right into boiling water. It was the best corn I've ever had.

How are prices where you are?

Here in NW NJ, corn is .90-1.00 an ear.  Very good tasting.

The only sweet corn we buy comes from Olathe, Colorado. Last week it was 6 for a dollar and not bad.

The best sweet corn in our area is $7.00 for a baker's dozen.  This farmer's corn is always picked fresh each morning and is wonderful.  I don't buy from anyone else.  My mother always said that corn is best if it goes directly from the field to the pot.

Growing up my mom would get the water boiling and we would pick corn from the garden and run it into the house LOL.  We miss sweet corn from the Midwest but what we get in the grocery store from Colorado is pretty good. I remember people selling street corn on the street.

@CrazyKittyLvr2  We get ours from our local farmer. It's $6.00/dozen. If you buy 3 dozen, you get one dozen free. Very good bicolor! I ordered 150 ears for tomorrow to freeze. That should give us about 20 quarts.

How you you like your corn?  Plain, butter and salt etc.  I don't have any desire for Mexican street corn.  Mayo on corn just doesn't sound appetizing at all.

I am a butter and a little salt.  I only pick up a salt shaker for sweet corn or a baked potato. I like it boiled or grilled.
