The Sweet Corn Harvest is ON!!!!
It has actually been on since the third week in July. They are just picking next to our place now.
Mountain Fresh and Olathe Sweet are the two brands grown here. Watch for them in your local store.
And NO neither one of these sweet corns (nor any sweet corn) is genetically modified! They are hybrids! Glyphosate will kill the sweet corn plants.
Hope you enjoy some and when you do…know the ears were harvested some place here on a farm in western Colorado!
Happy munching!

It’s funny – I lived in Ohio for many years but it was Cleveland, so despite corn being ‘the state weed’ I never ever had it fresh picked. I had no idea what I was missing! Here it is peeled and vacuum sealed and lasts three years from date of purchase – and that’s ‘on the cob.’ Blargh! However tonight I have two ears with silks and all, probably flown in from England, to have with a baked potato, garlic bread and filet mignon. I’m cooking most of it, but I’m one of my favourite chefs. It’s my birthday, I get to choose the meal (and the best chef)!

We’ve been enjoying sweet corn for a couple of weeks already, but it is our local … grown here in Oregon. The kind we like best is ‘Bodacious”. But I’m sure yours is at least as good. Actually I know it is, because we’ve had Colorado corn during our travels (Late summer/Early fall was always our favorite time to RV travel, because of the wonderful crops wherever we were and we always loved visiting farm stands.).

Our sweetcorn crop just finished in the last few weeks. Our Florida sweetcorn was very good this year, so sweet and juicy.
