When will the corn be ready this season?
Our goal is to harvest our first crop before July 4th. However this date is completely dependent on weather conditions. Please join our sweet corn update email list. We will send you periodic updates during the growing season and let you know when opening day will be this year!
When was it picked?
We only sell fresh sweet corn. Your sweet corn will always be picked less than 24 hours from time sold.
Where is it grown?
Dad farms in Tipton, Indiana. This is just north of Hamilton County. He has been farming for his entire life.
What kind is it?
Dad researches and studies this throughout his winter hiatus. He plans a mix of varieties and is always out to find the best and sweetest variety. All are gourmet varieties and most are bicolor.
How long will it keep?
It will be safe to eat for up to a week. However, the sweetness will decrease and turn to starch with every passing day.
Where should I store it?
You can store the corn in any place that is cold and moist such as your refrigerator or basement floor.
How long will you have it?
Dad staggers the plantings so that our sweet corn will ripen throughout the summer season. It will be available from early July through late September.
Can I freeze the corn?
Yes, it’s great to serve during the long winter months. Shuck, blanch, and cool corn completely. Remove corn from cob by cutting off the top half of kernels. Scrape cob to get remaining pulp and juice. Bag in freezer bags and freeze.
How do I cook it?
Please see our Cooking and Freezing Instructions and Recipes for all cooking options.
