Silver Queen Sweet Corn (dozen)
A dozen ears picked at dawn, on the truck by 8am.
How this vegetables is made — and by whom.
A horse-powered Amish diversified vegetable farm in the rolling limestone soils of Lancaster County. Four generations growing sweet corn, brassicas, and heirloom melons without synthetic inputs.
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania — the country around Lancaster County, where the soil, weather, and water shape what comes out of the ground. This product can only taste the way it does because it's from here, and nowhere else.
Picked at ripeness by the family and their crew, sorted on the packing bench the same morning, and packed into the basket in the order things came in from the field — no cold storage, no gas ripening, no supermarket middle.
The farm basket rotates with the fields — spring greens and asparagus, high-summer tomatoes and stone fruit, autumn roots and squash, winter citrus and hardy brassicas.
Old-fashioned bicolor sweet corn grown without synthetic fertilizer. Sugars start converting to starch within hours of picking — this ships the day it's pulled.
