Sweet Corn, Seet Corn Everywhere!

Even sleep doesn't bring a brief respite from the ongoing clatter of sweetcorn!  We're right in the middle of our busiest week of the year.  After milking each evening, we all head out to the patch and fill 4 or 5 trucks, preparing them for the next day's sales.  It's so neat to listen to the lively banter that goes on, the stories that customers have shared, and the laughter that echos down the corn rows as we work our way across the 15 acre field.  If you ever want to get sore, cut hands, an occaisional corn leaf right across the eye, or stumble upon a section where the bear have been rolling around, spend an evening in the patch.  Last night we were chased out by lightning, and ended up picking until after 10 pm.  When the storm passed, we all pulled on our rain gear and headed out to fill 'em up!
