March 1 is National Pig Day. How will you celebrate?

Fresh corn ice cream!

Great fried chicken in Raleigh, authentic frozen custard at the Raleigh Farmer’s Market, and barbecue in East Goldsboro with depth and complexity.

I got my latest Verrill Farm (Concord) newsletter last night. As of this morning, they’re selling their first sweet yellow corn of the year at 55 cents per ear. Who else has native corn ?

freshness, freshness, freshness it’s like eating an ear of corn picked that morning from the farm as opposed to one from the supermarket. oh and if the mozz is still a wee bit warm...

You don’t see as much local mushrooms as you’d hope, huh? Sienna Farms at the Copley Square Market (Tuesdays and Friday) usually has wild mushrooms—chanterelles and wood ears—as well as shiitakes cultivated...

I prefer freezing.. I put about 6-8 ears with husk in microwave for 6-8 minutes. Let cool and then remove husk and silk. Cut off and ziplock bags. We have a friend with farm and every year get 100+ to stock up for winter. (I line...

Corn season just started in the pioneer valley. Ears are smallish – definitely early corn – about $5 a dozen. I was just there, and the small farm stands were putting corn out. A farmer friend of mine out there says...

Verrill farms had boxes of plum tomatoes for $10.99 a few weeks ago. Tomatos were a little bruised, but suitable for canning.

Sorry, guys, but ever since I had a bunch of giant ugly corn worms crawl out of the tops of some very expensive ears of farm stand corn, I have peeled back the top inch or so before buying. And I will continue to do so.

One more unrelated note to add since we are both in Old Bridge, the white corn at Cheesquake farms has been fantastic.

- without cream. it is delicate with an intense corn flavor. use the freshest possible corn in this recipe (my corn came from sycamore farms at the usq greenmarket). for 6 ears of corn: 1. shave whole kernels off 1 ear and set...

THe farm where I get my produce does not have a barrel, so don’t kow what happens if you shuck it there. I have never gotten a bad ear, so have no reason to open the corn!!
