I love this time of year for farm fresh produce. Independence has a great farmer's market on the square on Saturdays. The homegrown tomatoes are in season including heirlooms. Blackberries, peaches, sweet onions, and this week the corn has started rolling in. Got a dozen ears for $7, which is maybe a little higher than you'd get from a truck stand out in the country, but this is five minutes from my house, and I like helping the local farmers out. I shuck em, clean em cryovac in packs of 4 and put them in the freezer for fall. Nothing better than a real ear of sweet corn in November! I've heard of Candy Corn in Nebraska. Who has the best tasting corn? The ears all seem to be healthy and the corn well developed. We've had plenty of rain this year I think, so the crops must be good at least here in Mid America.
