My son in law farms here in North Central Missouri. His three main crops are corn, soy beans, and winter wheat. He plants large tracts of field corn, and always puts in two big patches of sweet corn. He called last night and said the sweet corn is ready to pick. He always tells family and friends to come and pick some, so my wife and I will be picking corn Saturday morning. He'll also be selling some out of his truck at a local farmers market. This year, the price around here is six dollars per dozen. We'll pick several bags and freeze some, and give some to some friends. They taste great roasted on a bar- b- que grill, but my favorite way to have sweet corn is like this: boil the ears of corn, cut the corn off the cob. Add a little butter, then have it with fresh homegrown tomatoes. Salt and pepper them as you like. It's delicious. What's your favourite way to fix sweet corn?

I slather the cob in butter and then coat it with Trader Joe’s Elote seasoning and then char it on the grill. Absolutely delicious.

I grew up in NJ so getting 6 fresh ears for a dollar was never more than 10 min away. Over the last few years, fresh corn has been d**n near impossible to get here around ATL. I’m forced to buy the 4 already shucked ears on the styrofoam tray. Boo!

Try Dekalb Farmers Market, they should be loaded with corn

I knew I hated ATL for dozens of reasons, but never in my wildest dreams did I think you wouldn’t find corn there. add this to the list!!!

also, we never called it “sweet” corn growing up. I actually never heard that term until I started dating my midwestern wife as a 20 something.
