Tomatoes, Tomatoes and more Tomatoes.

Did you know that our Strathroy stand has been featuring our home-farm grown field tomatoes, lunchbox tomatoes, cherry and grape tomatoes for almost three weeks now? And yes, they are grown on the same farm as our lovely Golden Sweet Corn is grown! If you're planning on making salsa or tomato suce this year, we are also taking orders for roma tomatoes....just leave your name at our stand in Strathroy. Note that the tomatoes in Komoka are coming along, we're hoping they will be ready by the weekend.

We're Looking for Your Favourite Recipes for Corn and Veggies & Freezer Corn!

Golden Sweet Corn is incredible.....and it freezes incredibly well.

A few years ago, Laura and her friend Sylvia tried a taste test - blanching some of the freezer corn and freezing some of it straight off the cob.....surprisingly enough, NO DIFFERENCE! The corn taste was exactly the same and there was no discolouration at all!

 We'd like to share you favourite recipes on our blog..........so please post yours here!

 The Strathroy stand is hopping! Thank you to all of our new and returning customers - did you know that our very own field tomatoes are featured? We are also taking orders for roma tomatoes for those who want to make salsa/tomato sauce.

TGIF!

As I write this post, Tony and the guys are out in the field picking today's Golden Sweet Corn so that we can bring you the freshest product possible.

Yes, we hand-pick our corn each and every morning for same-day sales, bringing the sweetness of the day straight to the stands for your enjoyment!

Happy Friday!
Laura

Our Golden Sweet Corn Family is Growing!

A big welcome back to our friends at Dobrentey Farms on Southdale Road in Byron as well as Cornucopia on Hwy 81 between Mt-Brydges and Strathroy! We also have a new member of our family located between Fingal and St-Thomas.

 Please remember that if you are looking for farm-grown fresh veggies, our Strathroy stand is featuring more produce than ever - we have even had our very own field tomatoes, including cherry and grape tomatoes, Laura's favourite lunchbox tomatoes on the stand since last week. Added to our offering are our home-grown green and yellow beans and cabbages. We also feature locally-grown watermelons and cantelopes, garlic, potatoes, blueberries, peaches......stay tuned to see what else hits our stand as the farming season progresses! ...and of course Joc's lovely veggies are always featured at our Komoka stand!

 Oh, and one last thing! Our corn price is still $5 per dozen - same prices as the past few years! If you are worried you won't get through a full dozen, we'd be more than happy to sell you a half dozen for, you guessed it, half the price - $2.50! Happy Tuesday !
