Fincel's Sweet Corn

Farm Updates

2025

5/4/25 - We are open at our greenhouses Sunday - Friday from 10am-5pm, and Saturdays 1pm-5pm.  We are open at our JFK location daily from 9am-1pm.  We offer hanging flower baskets, hanging cherry tomato baskets, bedding plants, and vegetable plants.  Asparagus and rhubarb are available, first come first serve.  Radishes and spring onions are coming soon.    


4/20/25- We have been busy planting in our greenhouses since early February.  We start with hanging flower baskets and bedding plants, in addition to planting our greenhouses with early tomatoes.  We also plant onions, potatoes, radishes, broccoli, cabbage, kohlrabi, beans, carrots, snow peas, and beets early in the season.  We will begin transplanting peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, cucumbers, zucchini, melons, watermelons, squash, and more as conditions improve for the warmer weather crops.  We have our first planting of sweet corn in the ground.  We will plant roughly 15-20 more times to have a continuous harvest throughout our season.  We opened our greenhouses to the public on 4/18.  We will now be open at our greenhouses into late May.    We will return to the Blain's location again this year in early July.  


2024 Sweet Corn began on July 5th and ended on September 30th. 2024 was one of our more challenging years.  We experienced heavy rains with high winds in the first half of our season, which caused flash flooding, erosion, fertilizer reduction, and other problems.  Mid-season we experienced a derecho which flattened one of our plantings.  Late season we had a lack of rain and dealt with many critters that wanted to feast on our corn.  We are hoping to have more stable weather conditions in 2025.


During the last 10 years, our sweet corn has begun between July 3rd and July 14.  Our earliest ever start to our sweet corn season was on June 24, 2012.  The timing of our first sweet corn date depends completely on the weather in the early growing season.  Our sweet corn typically ends in mid-late September, all weather dependent.  We have typically planted our first sweet corn between April 1st - April 22th.
