Nyffeler Sweet Corn

Nyffeler Sweet Corn is the best veggie known to man. If you don't believe me, come over sometime in late July/early August and see for yourself. We look forward to eating it every summer and this summer was no exception. Mommy even took the time to blanch and freeze some so we can enjoy it into the fall.

Usually we just pick it up at the farmer's market in Columbus, as seen below. Hudson and Jonah are stocking us up.
But this year we were able to make the special trip out to the farm (which happens to be just down the road from the farm my dad grew up on) and pick some ourselves. Oh my goodness was it delicious. And fun! Jonah still talks about his farming experience.
Jonah the farmer.
Abby is making good headway on her raw ear of corn. After my cousin Mark insisted we all take a bite of it raw, she wouldn't stop munching it.
Abby finished it off by the time we got home. Wow, she's cute.
And Jonah also got to catch butterflies with a net, which he thought was the coolest thing ever. I'm investing the $2 into two of these for next summer. Hours of entertainment!
