How much are you paying for fresh corn this year? I stopped by the local farmstand yesterday and noticed corn was going for $0.85 an ear. Last year it was $0.75.
How does that compare with prices for fresh farmstand corn in your neck of the woods?
I had actually stopped by the farmstand for canning tomatoes but I was too late. I’ve been craving some of that salsa I made a few years ago that tastes just like the stuff you can buy at Costco.
I’ll have to try again in a day or two.
Honeynut squash. Have you tried it? I bought two little baby squashes. We’re going to give them a try this weekend.
The heirloom tomatoes they had were HUGE!! I’ve grown some big tomatoes in my day but nothing as big as the ones they had there.
I also grabbed a yellow watermelon. 🙂
I had planned on picking up some fresh carrots so I could make a batch of carrot cake jam but I started talking to someone and got distracted and totally forgot about them. 🙁 Aren’t they beautiful?
I LOVE the carrot cake jam recipe. And it’s PERFECT for this time of year.
While I was looking at the pierce board I noticed that green cabbage was $4 a head and decided to check them out.
And well, let’s just say I picked the biggest one there.
It was so big that when I came home with even the HH was impressed.
8 pounds 9.5 ounces!!! Holy cats Batman. We’ll be eating fried cabbage and bacon for days. Forget about salad this week. It’s cabbage from here on out.

P.S. How much are you paying for corn in your neighborhood? I’m talking about real, local farmstand corn.

In New Hampshire I am paying between one dollar and a dollar nine. No deals for six or twelve.

The farmer next door to me was charging $10 a dozen this year. Last year it was $8. He still sold out in less than 2 weeks.

We’re in Indiana and have so many friends who farm that grow a patch just for eating that we rarely pay for it (the best corn in the WORLD, folks). But I have noticed that a couple of stands in my area have a dozen ears for $5.
