The 2010 sweet corn and green bean season is over for the year.  It's been a touch year with minimal rain and record heat!  As farmers do, we'll once again look forward to a better season next year.  Thanks to all of our customers (new and old!) and we look forward to providing you with top quality produce next year!

Probably one of the things that we're most famous for (locally, at least!) is our sweet corn and other produce.  We've been in the fresh vegetable business for four generations. A combination of great river bottom soil, many hours of sweat, intense management, and over 60 years of know how helps make our fresh veggies sought by many local and sometimes not so local residents!  About 15 acres of sweet corn is grown every year and every ear of corn is hand picked to insure the very best in quality and taste.  All the corn is sold retail from a pickup bed in the local towns as well as right here on the farm.  Dates of harvest are typically July and August.  Corn is always picked the day we sell it to insure freshness.

We also grow a smaller amount of green beans, "bird-egg beans", and pumpkins as well as other fall decorations.  The picture on the right is sweet corn just about knee high.  

Below are the trucks loaded and ready to go to
town to be retailed.  The trucks hold on average 100
dozen ears of corn each.

The picture below was taken at Petersburg, WV retailing field fresh sweet corn straight from the pickup bed that it was pulled in one hour earlier.  Can't get much fresher than that!
