Everyone who knows me knows I am literally obsessed with corn! I’ve been eating it every summer since I was a little kid. Fast forward a few decades, I now watch it grow inch by inch every day when I drive to work…anxiously awaiting it’s official summer debut . It is my favorite part of summer. And it’s here! I love using it in various dishes at my store while it’s in season. So be ready… lots of Sweet Corn coming your way!! Here is a sneak peak at our Salmon over Roasted Corn Farro with corn for the first time this season! What’s for dinner!??
