5/$1! Moulton Farm asked for my first born.

I had the best corn I have ever eaten this past weekend. My husband works for a very large company that grows and sells vegetable seeds to commercial growers. This corn was grown in a seed trial in upstate NY. It is not available on the market yet. It was incredible!!!

Based on the above comments,we stopped at Moulton Farms this am and got just picked large ears of corn. For 69 cents an ear it should have been good...and it was the best we'd ever had.

Love the Moulton-grown veggies, and will gladly pay a premium for them. (and for what it's worth, I don't think it is expensive...farming is a tough business and I am happy to support them). We go there just about every day to get their corn, red lettuce, cukes, summer squash, carrots, etc. WAAAYYY better than the stuff in the supermarket. In fact, we tried some of the "fresh picked" corn at the new Whole (Paycheck) Foods, (now Amazon Foods

), that just opened near our primary home and it was awful.....bordered on cow corn.

I grew up on crappy canned vegetables, so it is so worth it, (to me, anyway), go down the street and get the real thing.

We shop at Moultons once a week. The people and place just a pleasant shopping experience that appeals to all our senses.

Really? Your first born was worth $0.69?

At almost 4 times the cost, I think you understand the hyperbole.

This is not to say it's not awesome quality, but it's the same conversation about Wineing Butcher, New Woodshed, etc.--quality vs. cost.

Walmart and the like have seduced all of us into thinking we're paying too much whenever we don't opt for the cheapest thing. Like Think, I scratch my head when asked to pay 3.5X a Hannaford's price. But when I consider the tremendous EFFORT and absolute deliciousness of local farm produce captured for only $0.69 an ear--HALLELUJAH!!! IT'S A MIRACLE!!!

.69/ear is fine for the first 100 ears or so. After that, it's pricey.

Usually this time of year the big chains sell local corn and post the grower. I just had some from Litchfield and it was great.

The best corn I've ever had was from McQuestion Farm in Litchfield.
