Sweet Corn Season is Here!
What a summer we've had so far! With the early spring and the heat, sweet corn is on! Today is day 3 of Trinity - our favourite early bi-colour corn. The corn is delicious, (if we say so ourselves) and as usual the early corn cobs are a little smaller but delicious.
We'd suggest you visit soon. If we don't get a nice, steady, slow rain soon, corn season will be short....or else we'll be serving up popcorn!
Interesting corn fact of the day: Peter thinks this is the earliest that the Doris Family has EVER had sweet corn ready for sale. Quite a record considering the Doris' have been selling corn for over 40 years at the farm gate.
Drop by today!
Peter, Carolyn and the Doris kids, Claire, Maggie, Liam and Ella, operate a small family farm just south of Peterborough near the village of Keene, close to the north shore of Rice Lake. We're trying to carry on the Doris tradition, started by Peter's parents, Gerald and Bernadette, of growing quality, fresh picked sweet corn in the summer for you to enjoy!
Visit us at 2612 County Road 2, Keene Ontario. We're on the north side of County Road 2 between Mathers Corners and Hiawatha Line.

Spring is in the air!
Sweet corn seed has been ordered and is just waiting to be planted. The Doris kids have also ordered some extra veggie seeds so now we just need the ground to warm up a bit!
Come on out sun...we're ready!
We're also excited to report that after a hiatus of a few years, we're hoping to be back selling garlic this year. So far, so good!
