Aw, Shucks…

Corn on the cob is best cooked as soon as possible after harvesting, as the natural sugars in corn start turning to starch as soon as it is picked.

How does corn get on the internet? It uses a cobweb.

At this farm stand, you could select ears of corn harvested from nearby fields.

Why did the corn stalk win an award? Because it was outstanding in its field.

You could also pick up a mum that was grown in the greenhouses on the left.

When is the corn ready? Mum’s the word.

Just for fun, the “farm family” will soon be available for photo opportunities.

The baby corn asked its mom, “Where’s Pop Corn?

Back at home, the corn looks fresh in the basket that I wove.

What do you call a pair of cornstalks that are best friends? Ear buds!

The corn is protected by the husk and corn silk, which helps keeps the kernels moist and sweet.

Why did one of the five kernels not pop in the pan?
It was wearing sunscreen.

What does corn wear to bed? Silk pajamas!

These kernels of butter and sugar corn look delicious, but what would you call a single, solitary kernel of corn?

-A unicorn!

  1. A corny post Julie, but a delight for the senses. Love fresh corn season. Our favourite is peaches and cream and the best supplier in the province is Taber corn. In our Eastern provinces (Maritimes), they have a meal tradition known as Corn Jus’ Corn, where the only menu item on offer is corn on the cob and of course butter and salt. Have a wonderful day.
