Sweet Corn is here! So glad to have sweet corn in your share for this week leading up to the 4th of July. My words of wisdom about our sweet corn is eat it as soon as you can, it will taste the best this way. If you can't eat it right away, leave it in the husk and put in the refrigerator. I've had many people tell me the have kept their corn for a whole week in the fridge and it still tastes delicious!
