2024 Sweet Corn began on July 5th. We anticipate that we will have sweet corn until around the end of September.   We had a difficult first half of our sweet corn season, due to heavy spring rains, flash flooding, and damage from heavy winds and the derecho.  We double planted the first fields that we harvested, so that we could extend our sweet corn season and make up for some of our early season losses.  

Currently (as of 9/12), much of our remaining produce is limited through the remainder of our season, and will dwindle as we continue through the month.  We have field grown tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, green zucchini (may be limited), eggplant, red new potatoes, sweet candy onions, cabbage, green beans, hot peppers, and sweet banana peppers.  We also now have butternut squash, acorn squash, spaghetti squash, and limited delicata squash, buttercup squash, and honeynut squash.

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.
