Come and Get It!

We've had a busy few days with corn selling as fast as we can pick it!  It may be because of the summer heat, the Civic Holiday weekend, Food Day Canada or something else (the amazing home grown, fresh picked corn!), we've been happy to see so many customers!

It's great to hear that people are waiting anxiously for our signs to go up roadside.  It's also amazing to hear the stories from our regular customers and neighbours.  We had  someone yesterday mention they've been buying corn for over 30 years and another who noted this was his 28th summer of Dorisdale Farm Sweet Corn!  We certainly appreciate our loyal following and the commitment to both eating and buying local.

We're back at it today with white corn, a favourite of ours called "Edelweiss" that just makes you hum songs from The Sound of Music!!  Pete has just returned from the field with a bi-colour variety that we're quite pleased with called "Allure".  We must be alluring!

Here's a couple of pictures of the kids hard at work yesterday.  

 Claire was at the Keene Farmers Market.

Liam Maggie and Ella worked the table here at Dorisdale Farm.

Hope to see you at the corn table at Dorisdale Farm.  Have a fabulous, safe and corn filled weekend!  Be sure to visit today and make Food Day Canada a celebration with our locally grown, sweet corn as part of a meal today!

We're Back

After allowing the corn a "siesta" in the heat over the last 2 days, we're back in full swing today!  Pete has picked three different varieties of bi-colour today: Navajo, Trinity, and a new to us variety called Sweetness.
He's off to the day job so can't guarantee the "staff" will be able to tell which is which, but from our taste-test at supper last night, all are delicious!  But then again, nothing tastes better than fresh picked, locally grown food this time of year.

We're also cleaning our fresh picked garlic, so be sure to pick up a head or two while it lasts!  And green beans and peas have also just been fresh picked to.

See you at the table!
