We take pride in ONLY growing the highest quality NON-GMO bi-color triple sweet corn.

Much of the sweet corn grown today is GMO (Genetically Modified) – GMO corn   has been genetically engineered to either withstand the herbicide glyphosate and produce its own pesticide.

 

All of our corn is locally grown and is hand-picked fresh daily.

 

What makes our sweet corn stand apart from the others?    

       

• We only grow NON-GMO Sweet corn.

        

• Picked every morning and throughout the day to ensure maximum freshness.

 

• Hand Picked only – No Machines

 

• Triple Sweet varieties have a 20%+ higher sugar content than all other sweet corn.

 

• Long holding window – All sweet corn will eventually convert its sugars to starch over time. Different varieties complete this process at different rates. The slower the conversion the better the taste for a longer period of time.
