Food Day Canada

8/3/2024

Today is Food Day Canada where we celebrate the abundance of farm fresh, local produce available this time of year in Canada. The theme is “sharing,” so I’m reposting seven original recipes for interesting new potato and sweet corn dishes. These recipes were all developed and taste tested in my kitchen. New potatoes and sweet corn are available at our farm stand as well as gorgeous tomatoes, onions and cabbage from local farms. You can visit “Freezing Sweet Corn” to see how you can enjoy the taste of summer in the dead of winter. Click on the links below to print or download the recipes of your choice. Bon Appétit!

Indulge yourself with these gorgeous local field tomatoes. Their superior flavour is only available during the height of the summer. We have them ready and waiting for you at our farm stand. We also have some new, unwashed potatoes and the finest sweet corn from Norfolk County. (Yes, our sweet corn will be ready very soon.) Hope to see you this weekend!

Planting Sweet Corn

Meanwhile, at the back of the farm…While Johnny has been stealing all the social media glory planting our potatoes, Curtis has been quietly planting our highly anticipated sweet corn crop for many weeks now. The planting of sweet corn is spaced out over 2 months to ensure that we always have a ripe section to pick for our customers. This video was shot as Curtis just started planting our second field. You can visit “Sweet Corn Fields” to see an aerial video of our sweet corn fields in full flower.

Freezing Sweet Corn

It’s crunch time! We estimate we will have sweet corn available for approximately 7-10 more days (depending on the weather.) Here is how I freeze sweet corn so we can enjoy it all winter. I cook the corn for 7 minutes, let it cool down and scrape the kernels off the cob with a sharp knife. Then I pop 2 cups of kernels into a freezer bag. I use about 3 cobs of corn to equal 2 cups. During the winter, all I have to do is thaw one bag and add it to my soups, stews and casseroles.

If you’re looking for inspiration for new winter dishes where you can use your sweet corn, you can visit “Cottage Pie” and “Potato & Sweet Corn Chowder.” You can also serve the corn as a side dish with recipes such as “Bangers & Mash” or “Shepherd’s Pie.” Stay tuned for my new signature dish “Potato & Sweet Corn Hash” that’s coming this fall. Bon Appétit!
