We went to The Corn Wagon today, as I did last week, and I will do next week! Fresh fruit and veggies, straight from the farmer to our table – nothing could be better!
Before I had even turned off the engine, Jim was out of the car with his bag to select our 13 ears of corn – like they were going to run out of it or something! They had 3 wagons full of corn and everybody was selecting the perfect corn for their needs. It’s almost a social event with people chatting as they are filling their bags. Several people had boxes to fill, we only had a bag.
13 ears, you ask? Yes! 13 ears for $2.50! Why 13? In case one of them is bad! Which has never happened to me and I’ve been coming here as long as I’ve lived here!
Corn is not the only thing they sell at the Corn Wagon! They had watermelons, cantelopes, peppers, onions, zucchini, tomatoes, peaches, berries, cucumbers, and on and on and on. And they had shoppers filling bags, knocking on watermelons, selecting the right tomatoes and of course, filling bags and boxes with corn! Cars were continuously pulling in and out of the parking lot the whole time we were there!
Not only were the tomatos beautiful, but so were the peaches and cantelopes! We bought a huge, beautiful, ripe tomato for 50 cents! Can you say BLT’s??
After we got home, somebody had to husk the corn so Jim sat on the front porch, watching the world go by, and husked the corn! Already for the pot!
I cleaned the rest of our bounty and put it up and was amazed that we got all of this plus the 13 ears of corn, for one five dollar bill!
Summertime in Lancaster County, at the peak of harvest ~ my favorite time of the year!
