@I am still oxox  Good fresh sweet corn is the best there is! Crisp, sweet, milky and unctuous! I think it's also tied to childhood, bare feet, and the endless days of summer!

I usually buy corn from one of the many farms in the area, but this week corn is $.19/ ear at my supermarket and is locally grown, so I will be stocking the freezer.

Yes, love fresh local produce.  We have enjoyed some good corn this summer.  Also good has been cantaloupe, watermelon, green beans...earlier in the summer peaches, blueberries and strawberries.  It is so nutritious too when it is fresh.  It also helps local growers when we purchase from them.  Win-win!

I shop in Nassau County in New York and corn was very expensive the whole Summer ( except right before Memorial Day weekend it was $.19 an ear). Most of the corn I had wasn't very good.

It was the same price here from the supermarket, supposedly local and it was meh.  Not bad, not great - we wouldn't go back for more at the end of the week.
