Hello!
It’s a rarity for Fresh Harvest to offer fresh sweet corn, but we have a truck load available this week. Vida Haynes has been a customer with Fresh Harvest for many years and has become a farmer in Bell Buckle, TN. Her corn will be picked Wednesday morning, so it will be super fresh. I’m not sure of the best way to freeze corn, but Google knows. If you know a tried and true method of freezing corn, pass it along and I’ll post it tomorrow night.
This from Vida:
“Tender Sweet Corn – A mix of Ambrosia and Peaches and Cream, you will want to eat this corn every night off the cob and put some away in the freezer. Grown organically in Bell Buckle, TN. The early maturities have been shared with friends around the farm and everyone has loved it – since most everyone around here has a garden, it means a lot when we get an A+ from the locals.
This corn was grown without any chemicals and only fertilized with chicken litter.
1/2 dozen $3.50
Full dozen $7.00
Vannatta Farms is a century farm located in Bell Buckle, TN.
The farm has hundreds of acres of row crops – corn, soy beans and wheat, plus 175 Angus cows and 6 broiler houses.”
There are lots of veggies available including new varieties of peppers, tomatoes and potatoes. All of which goes great with corn.
This is really and truly the last week for blueberries. Bloomy Rind is on vacation, so no cheese until next week.
The Peach Truck has freestone peaches this week. They will be set up next to us throughout the peach season.
Dozen Bakery cookies and breads, eggs, granola, honey, and coffee are in abundance.
Hemp Honey and Sorghum are available under Honey.
You have until Tuesday night to place your order.
Thanks for your support, and I will see you on Wednesday!

Recipes
One Way to Freeze Corn
Drop shucked ears into boiling water and cook 2-3 minutes. Remove from water to a large bowl and let cool a few minutes until you can handle them. Cut kernels off of cobs, spoon into freezer baggies, remove as much air as possible (using a straw), seal and freeze.
