Vendor Profile: My Dad's Sweet Corn
|
| We're pretty sure that is sweet corn is the official food of summer. Can you imagine a summer dinner without corn on the cob? Lucky for us we don't have, to thanks to My Dad's Sweet Corn.
Arriving at the market, starting this Saturday, their passion is to provide you with the tastiest and highest quality sweet corn possible, and they work hard to insure that the sweet corn they sell is the best. For that reason, My Dad's Sweet Corn is picked fresh daily to ensure freshness and quality. That's right! Every ear of corn sold is less than 24 hours old, ensuring maximum freshness and sweetness. Stop by Saturday to grab a dozen.
