Many of our customers tell us that they surely know spring is here once they see our corn hit the market. Scott’s Zellwood Sweet Sweet Corn™, which has been grown on this farm for almost 50 years, is a long-standing spring (not to mention, fall) tradition. Hand-picked each day for maximum freshness, our corn is a triple-sweet variety and as many people have found out, can be eaten raw if that is your preference. But for those of you who do like to cook it, it takes only 3 minutes in boiling water after you shuck it, or just 2 minutes on high in the microwave for each ear (and you can leave the shuck on). One thing you don’t want to do it heat it too long. As we like to say – just long enough to melt the butter!
This coming weekend marks the 37th annual Zellwood Corn Festival. Though Long & Scott Farms does not put on the festival, we have supplied the corn for it all these years. Due to the economy, the festival was postponed last year, but is back for two days this year with lower ticket prices, as well as some other changes made by the North Orange County Improvement Association (N.O.C.I.A), the sponsor of the event. Long & Scott will have a booth at the festival to sell Scott’s Zellwood Sweet Corn™ and there are several outside vendors who will be cooking it as well. For more information, please visit their website www.zellwoodcornfestival.com.
In the meantime, please come visit Scott’s Country Market at the farm, or visit our farm stand on Hwy 441, just south of Zellwood, where we always have a ready supply of corn, as well as fresh, local produce. Thank you for your continued patronage and for supporting all of our efforts to keep providing our customers with the freshest produce in the area.
