I know corn is pretty cheap (on the cob). My father-in-law (china) is visiting. I'm buying corn (20 to 30 ears) a week. I see cornfields everywhere in calvert county. I was wondering if I could buy it directly from them. Hell, I'll even go into their field and pick it myself (with permission).

Does anybody know anywhere where you can pick your own corn?

Maybe stop at one of the local Farmer's Markets and see if you can cut a deal.

I found this website, but doesn't have much info on Calvert. It does have listings for lots of farms in the state, but I didn't specifically see corn. Maybe there is a contact on the site that could help you in your search. Love the local corn! We have some just about every nite. :yum:

Most of what you see along the road will be field corn....not very sweet. You need sweet corn, and 20 ears a week isnt that much. Stop at your local farmers market. They should have it. Dont pick along side the road. You might end up with some unintended holes....

Most of the corn you see in fields is NOT sweet corn, it's field corn used in feed and/or ethanol.

I got some from the little cart across from Scientist Cliffs over the weekend. It was VERY good!

We got some Sweet Corn from Chesapeake's Bounty this weekend, and it was the best!! I forget the price. It's located on the southern end of St. Leonard Road.

I've heard great things about Linda's for a while now but still haven't gotten there to check it out. I'm always looking for new local places for plants and produce. Think I'll stop by there this week sometime.

I always buy produce from there (and my XMAS tree every year too!). But I bought corn 3 weeks ago from them and we were disappointed that it had little flavor. I'll give them another try though, I've never been disappointed before.

just wondering why do you need so much corn?

Not trying to be rude, but I was wondering why so much corn also. Do they not have corn in China or does he just really love to eat corn?

I would say that Corn is probably MUCH better now, than it was 3 weeks ago. I'm glad you'll give them another try. It's a good, honest little Local Business, and they aim to please.

You don't buy corn, you rent it.

Can you ever really eat corn?

Man, I LOVE sweet corn on the cob! I've stopped and bought a dozen ears, then went home cooked and ate em all. That was supper.....yummy!

Absolutely, like I said I shop there often. I'd never give up on them so quickly. Been going there regularly since we moved here almost 5 years ago and this was the first not so great purchase ever. I'll be there Friday again for their corn, tomatoes, peppers & flowers. :smile:

We just purchased a large pack of fresh corn on the cob at BJ's... wrapped them in tinfoil and smoothered in spray butter... grilled the puppies and yum yum... tender and so delicious. We haven't had much luck with tender sweet corn at markets and roadside... can't beat the packs in BJ's... imho!

I'm from central PA and one of the dutch meals we use to make alot was chicken corn soup... awesome! if you know how to make it. Perhaps you can find the recipe thru google.
