The 2006 sweet corn season is over. Thanks again to all of our loyal customers and our many new ones!
Probably one of the things that we're
most famous for (locally, at least!) is our sweet corn and other produce.
We've been in
the fresh vegetable business for four generations. A combination
of great river bottom soil, many hours of sweat, intense management, and over 60
years of know how helps make our fresh veggies sought by many local and
sometimes not so local residents! About 15 acres of sweet corn is grown
every year and every ear of corn is hand picked to insure the very best in
quality and taste. All the corn is sold retail from a pickup bed in the local
towns as well as right here on the farm. Dates of harvest are typically
July and August. Corn is always picked the day we sell it to insure
freshness.
We also grow a smaller amount of green beans, "bird-egg beans", and pumpkins as well as other fall decorations. The picture on the right is sweet corn just about knee high.
Below are the trucks loaded and ready to
go to
town to be retailed. The trucks hold around 100
dozen of corn each.

The
picture to the right was taken at Petersburg, WV retailing field fresh sweet
corn straight from the pickup bed that it was pulled in one hour earlier.
Can't get much fresher than that!
