Sometime between mid and late July each year, our favorite point in the local agriculture season hits: sweet corn season.

It’s delicious, as was the Floridian and Georgian corn, but we’re chomping at the bit for corn from our backyard! While we prepare for the mid-July checkered flag on our beloved local sweet corn, we source our corn in parts of North Carolina and Delaware, where local corn season has set in. Weather factors heavily into almost all of the crops we source locally each year, and sweet corn is no exception. Northeastern cornstalks have sprouted by the end of the month, in preparation for harvest in a few weeks. We move our map pin from Florida to Georgia and begin bringing in Georgia-grown sweet corn for a while. Around here, the weather heats up, the sun stays out and our sweet corn starts to come a bit closer. Early in what we like to call “grilling season,” we’re usually tapping into Florida’s sweet corn season, as our Northeast farmer’s plant, water and tend to their fields.īy June, the summer season is officially setting in.
