It's a Perfect Time for Corn

Despite the dry weather we've had, it's a perfect week for sweet corn.  Today we have three varieties on the table - a bi-colour (our first day for this variety this summer), a white and a yellow. 

If yellow is your favourite, we suggest you come soon.  It's great tasting and freezing a batch or two will add wonderful colour to your dinner plate this winter!

I'm trying a new dip recipe - thanks to Jennifer Mackenzie from Foodworx for the idea!  Here's her recipe for Roasted Corn and Herb Dip.  Tomorrow is corn relish day in the kitchen too.

Today we have both a white and a bi-colour corn for sale.  Due to the heat and the lack of rain this summer when this corn was pollinating, the cobs are a bit smaller that we would normally have this time of year.

Despite the weird weather this year and the challenges with the growing season, feedback from our loyal customers has been positive.

Today on the table we also have a limited supply of our own fresh garlic for sale.  Thanks to Maggie, Liam and Ella (our home grown child labour) for helping to clean it up!  Bulbs are 75 cents each.

Have a great soggy weekend!

It's Corn Season Part 2!

After an early start to the season, we were short of corn over the August long weekend.  Our apologies to everyone, but with this summer, it seems we can't predict what's happening in the corn field.

We are officially back in business so please drop by on this rainy day and weekend!  You'll see two kinds of corn on the table this weekend:  a lovely bi-colour (peaches n' cream type) and our family favourite - white.

We are taking family shifts with corn this weekend--today Claire and Maggie are showing their 4-H Simmental heifers at the Peterborough Exhibition.  We're excited for Claire!  She is Junior Ambassador of the Peterborough Ex this year so you may not see her selling corn this weekend. 

Hope to see you at the picnic table!
