Locally produced sweet corn will be coming in starting next week at the Cassebaum farm. Fresh ears of succulent sweet corn signals a begining to the summertime vegetable harvest. Cassebaum's farm is located on county road 91, one half mile south of hwy 98 and approximately 5 miles east of Elberta Al. Check out my article on freezing sweet corn to find out how to fill your freezer while it is in season.
We are getting fresh green beans, squash, carrots, and kale from the garden right now and I saw where the okra, bless its heart, has started blooming even though it is only a foot high. Fresh fried okra and tender ears of sweet corn, what could be better.
I am still waiting to hear from anyone who knows of a local producer here in Baldwin County. Drop me a comment on what they are growing, where to locate them, and any other relative information, so we can let people know where they can find and buy fresh vegetables and fruits.
