SPRAY-FREE SWEETCORN

ORDERS NOW CLOSED FOR END OF SEASON

 

Fresh, spray-free food is important to our family. We get it! We only want to feed our family healthy, nutritious, high quality food - and we know you want the same.

 

At Franklin Farm, we've done the hard work for you - our corn is nurtured without the use of harmful pesticides or chemicals, and hand weeded to prevent the use of herbicides and plastic ground covers. We plant our corn early to beat the caterpillars too, but don't be surprised if the odd one has snuck in! We like to think the potential of finding a caterpillar is better than using harsh sprays.

 

Our sweet corn is picked and packed by hand, only selecting the best and freshest cobs. Our corn is picked and dispatched on the same day, guaranteeing you the freshest sweet corn possible. Once you’ve tried our corn, you’ll never be able to settle for mass-produced, chemically-treated corn that has spent weeks sitting on the supermarket shelves.

 

It is best to consume your corn as soon as possible after receiving it. When purchasing sweet corn this fresh, you can even eat it raw off the cob! As sweetcorn ages, the natural sugars in the corn become starchy, and the corn becomes less sweet. This is why buying fresh from the grower is the only way. However, you can keep it fresh longer by storing it, unwashed and unpeeled, in a sealed container or in the crisper drawer of your fridge.

 

Thank you for choosing to buy from our family farm. Not only have you done your family a favour by choosing healthy, fresh and better tasting food; you’re also supporting healthier soils, happier ecosystems and sustainable growing practices.
