This past weekend was poppin’ at Charlann Farms in Yardley, where community members came together to celebrate one of the region’s favorite summer crops.

Before the recent rains came, we hit a dry spell, just when our local corn crop was developing.

When growing up, summer was the best time. There was no school! Instead. there were trips with an aunt to the Jersey shore, as well as one or two to Forest Park in Chalfont. But maybe the best part …

The season of sweet corn is here. Local farms are pulling their first ears, and although some may be small due to the recent period of drought, the flavor is undiminished.
