Quality does take time!
Due to an overwhelming demand at our Komoka stand this week and the cooler nights the past few days, we will be delaying opening our Strathroy stand as the corn is just not quite ready and we won't sell it until it's perfect!
Strathroy will open: Monday, July 23rd, at 10am!
Komoka: business as usual - open from 9am until we sell out, daily.
Come experience the best corn you have ever tried!
We also have Joc's fresh seasonal veggies which are flying off the stand......
We have to say, there are an awful lot of smiling faces at the stand in Komoka - everyone is so happy to see us back again! Thank you!!!!! It's our pleasure to serve you.

Day 3 and All is Well!
Good morning corn lovers!
Golden Sweet Corn loves the heat! But with this kind of heat, the corn needs water. Did you know that to irrigate properly, farmers irrigate at night to avoid wind, and mostly to avoid evaporation. That means that Tony has been up a lot of nights this year irrigating, while doing his regular farm work during the day. A big thank you to you Tony!
If you ever saw a bumper sticker that says "Hug a Farmer" - now you know one of the reasons - local farmers go above and beyond to ensure quality in what they produce.
When you come by the stand, take a minute to thank our Corn Girls who are working through this extreme heat with a smile on their faces :)
So just a reminder:
Komoka is open daily from 9am featuring Tony's tender Golden Sweet Corn and Joc's fresh veggies.
Strathroy will be opening at 9am on Friday
Hope to see you at one of our stands this weekend!

Corn Season is ON!
Ready corn lovers?
Golden Sweet Corn is ready! We are opening our Komoka stand tomorrow morning at 9am!
Strathroy will open on Friday.....
Did you know that Golden Sweet Corn makes an awesome snack? Try it raw....you'll be amazed. Of course if you love melted butter on it......please feel free to cook it, but be careful not to cook it too long. Laura's favourite way is to put it straight into a large pot of boiling water and take it out as soon as the water comes back to the boiling point. Yum!
