I deal with at least three of the local farmers, DiTomaso Farms, Musso Farms, and Vic Mauro. Usually I go to Gary DiTomaso because he treats me like family. Usually, Carl Musso has the first sweet corn, and he always tries for July 4th, because people will pay insane prices to have sweet corn for the 4th. He uses an early variety that only gets about 2 1/2 feet tall before it produces, and frankly, it's not very good.
This year is different. We were fueling up at the local Loaf 'n Jug on July 2nd and Gary DiTomaso was there. He called me over and said "Come by tomorrow, I'll have a sack of corn for you". He wasn't opening until the following week, so he was giving it away to friends, and probably selling a bunch to Musso Farms. I went by the next day and he took a sack (five dozen) right off the truck and threw it in my truck. We had some that night and it was incredible! We had a gathering on Saturday and we cooked the rest of it. What was left Sandy cut off the cobs and froze.
