GOLDEN SWEET CORN

LOCAL FARMS

by Anne Pyburn Craig June 16, 2020

Nothing is as emblematic of a Hudson Valley summer as sweet corn piled high at the farm stand. Stripping the husk and the silk away is like a meditation on delicious. Boiled, steamed, or grilled just long enough, the kernels take on a glow that promises sweet bursts of juice on the tongue. Our corn is even delicious raw. If you want to go all-in on corn, try growing a couple of rows. Plant kernels about an inch-and-a-half to two inches deep, three in a hole, a foot or so apart in mounded rows, and in just under three months you’ll be feasting. Hudson Valley Seed Company has a colorful array of heirloom organic varieties you can purchase online. If you can’t wait, our local farms are harvesting.
