What is a bicolor sweet corn?
This is simply a corn that has both white and yellow kernels.
When was the corn picked?
Our corn is picked the day you buy it from us. We’re proud to sell only corn picked fresh daily from our field.
Should I refrigerate my corn if I don’t eat it right away?
Corn should be kept in a cool area and will keep longer if placed in the refrigerator.
Can I pick the corn myself?
We apologize in advance, but we do not allow the public to pick their own corn from the field. We’re familiar with our property and prefer to bring the corn right to you. Feel free to select your own ears from what we have available.
How should I cook my corn?
The sooner it is used, the sweeter it will be! There are so many options for enjoying your sweet corn. You’ll want to start by removing the corn shucks and silks for boiling. Or if you prefer the grill, it’s best to leave the shucks intact for cooking on the grill. Of course, some folks enjoy their corn raw right out of the shuck!
Can you hold corn for me to pick up later?
We sell our corn first-come, first-serve and therefore can’t hold any back. If corn is paid for in advance we can set it aside until you can come back to pick it up, but be advised it is not best to do this as leaving the corn setting bagged up in the heat is not good for the corn.
What is the best way to store my corn for use during the winter months?
Canning, freezing or drying sweet corn will extend shelf life and provide your family with corn throughout the year. There are a few ways to store your sweet corn for enjoying in the off-season.
Do I need to bring my own bags to take the corn home?
Yes, we would appreciate you bringing your own bags although we may have some bags available for you to use.
Are there any discounts for buying in bulk?
Sorry, but we don’t offer quantity discounts.
Sweet corn is delicious when prepared on the cob. Without added butter or salt, one ear (approximately 6 inches long) contains 150 calories. It also contributes carbohydrate, a fair amount of Vitamin A (yellow varieties, only), and only a trace of sodium. (source: MissouriFamilies.org)
A note on the variety names of sweet corn:
We don’t sell the frequently requested varieties by the name of Silver Queen (white) or Peaches n Cream (bicolor). When asking specifically for Silver Queen or Peaches n Cream most folks are simply referring to the color of the corn as these are popular and well-known variety names from seasons past. It’s our inference that some people are simply not sure exactly what they are looking for when referring to these names.
The varieties of sweet corn we do sell are called sugar enhanced or super sweet varieties of sweet corn. Simply put, the varieties we sell are sweeter than these old original varieties that are more well-known by their variety name. The names have stuck around because of past popularity, but believe us when we tell you, you are not missing a thing! The flavor of our sugar enhanced varieties can’t be beat!
