Our super sweet corn is usually ripe by the last week of July. We pick the corn every morning at 6:00 A.M. and have it ready for you by 9:30 A.M.. If you want to order 10 dozen or more, we will give a discount, but call a day ahead. We also sell our corn in Plymouth, at 56th and Nathan Lane.

Sweet Corn Freezing Instructions

You’ll have maximum flavor with minimum freezer space by blanching the corn first, then cutting it off the cob. Here’s the step by step procedure:

1. Husk corn, pull off silks, trim away any defects
2. Use a large Dutch oven kettle. Fill it with water to a depth of 2 inches and bring to a boil. You’ll need to add water occasionally to maintain this depth.
3. Place 3 or 4 ears in the boiling water and stack another 3 ears in a second layer lying across the first. Cover the kettle.
4. After 3 minutes, pull the bottom layer to the top with a tongs and cook another 3 minutes.
5. Remove immediately and place in a sink full of ice water to cool. Or, working outside, use a large tub that you fill with your garden hose. The water needs to be maintained as cold as possible, so turn the hose on frequently.
6. Remove the corn from the cooling tub after 5 minutes, or just before you bring the next hot batch to cool.
7. Cut the corn from the cob with a very sharp knife. Cut off only ¾ of the kernel, then remove the rest by scraping the cob with the back of your knife. This is the sweetest part, and is vital to your cream style product.
8. Corn can be cut into a cake pan and scooped into freezer bags as the pan fills.
9. Place filled bags in a single layer on a cookie sheet and freeze immediately.

• Fresh Corn:
  
  Husk corn, trim off tip and stalk to fit the pan. Use a large Dutch oven kettle and fill water to a depth of 1 inch. Bring to boil and add corn in two layers, with the top layer criss-crossing the bottom . Once the water boils again, boil for 5 minutes. Halfway through that time, pull the bottom layer to the top, so both layers get some time in the boiling water.
• For your health.
  
  Our super sweet corn has so much flavor, you don't even need butter or salt. Try it and you won't have to feel guilty about eating a half dozen by yourself.
• For frozen corn:
  Under the tap, warm block of corn just enough to slip it out of the freezer bag.
  Place “block” of corn in shallow pan under low heat and add ¼ to ½ cup milk.
  Cover pan and slowly cook, flipping the block of corn as you would a frozen package of hamburger, scraping off the corn as it thaws.
  Result: cream style sweet corn as though it came right from the stalk. Enjoy!
