Yeah, we have fantastic farmer's markets here...That is one of my favorite things about summer! That and all the festivals!
 Crap!! That reminds me, the farmer's market was today!! Ahhh! Booo me.  Made some sweet corn tonight, it was pretty good; but nothing compared to the corn we get from Orlathe; their sweet corn is unreal! In fact, it's kinda ruined corn for me, lol; it's just never as good as the stuff from Orlathe!

gettin' to be that time of the year again, because of our abbreviated growing season all of our earliest produce is from neighboring southern states....... |

time for a bump and shout out to my local roadside stand.
right now it's Indiana sweet corn, very sweet but not like some of the upcoming Iowa maze we'll see in the next few weeks. currently $3 for 1/2 doz but each bag gets 7 ears  |

Growin some corn in my backyard... never done that before. Love a good fruit stand.... only issue I see is if ypur not savvy on price they can be a bit pricier when it should be cheaper. Yeah its better quality most times but come on with the price.... im up in canada so not sure how it is down south. Here its usually equivalent to supermarket or more.... usually.... is that right? I dont see much overhead.....

Great time of year for fruits, berries, herbs and veggies. Participated in a few grower's markets a few years ago...labor of love. Met some cool folk.

I honestly can't remember the last time I bought corn in the grocery store and so I don't know the price difference either. store bought corn on the cob is such a letdown after the summer season produce stands that I'd rather buy canned or frozen in the off season. |
