 Did you know that all our sweet corn is hand harvested? Of course there are machines that harvest sweet corn, but it has to be vigorously graded once it’s harvested to pull out all the immature and small cobs. Our seasoned workers have been picking sweet corn for many years and they know how to select the very best cobs. We certainly appreciate all the hard work they do in the cornfield! You can visit “Sweet Corn Fields” to see an aerial video of our crew working in one of our cornfields.

 Did you know that the annoying silks on your sweet corn cob serve an incredibly important function when the corn is growing? Each silk (sometimes called hair) is attached to one kernel of corn. When the silk is pollinated the kernel begins to grow. So if you ever want to know how many kernels of corn you have on your cob, you can just count the silks! You can visit “Freezing Sweet Corn” to see my tips for freezing sweet corn so you can enjoy it all winter (even with limited freezer space.)
 Did you know that RJ planted our first crop of sweet corn in 1987 when he was just 16 years old? RJ knew someone who was interested in buying local corn and figured he could supply it. So he planted roughly 2 acres of corn, picked every cob by himself and delivered it in his pickup truck. And here we are 39 years later with hundreds of satisfied customers coming to our corn stand every week to purchase our delicious sweet corn that has a well-earned reputation for excellence in York Region. You can visit “At The Door” for our hours of operation, pricing and directions to the farm.

What better way to celebrate the Labour Day long weekend than with a closer look at all the dedicated and hardworking people who work at our farm? Our reliable employees help with picking sweet corn, packing potatoes, stocking the produce stand, delivering our products and extending customer care in the office (all under the watchful eyes of our attentive farm dogs, Riley & Riggs.) We couldn’t do what we do without all their help! Be sure to give them a friendly wave when you see their smiling faces! Enjoy this unofficial last day of summer wherever you are, and we’ll catch you on the flip side of summer as our fall produce begins to come into season.
