Winter season is a crucial time for farmers to recharge and prepare for the upcoming planting season. It’s a great time to fix machinery, purchase seeds, and tend to other projects across the farm. It’s also a great time to begin a large project with a looming mid-June deadline.
We have broken ground with the goal to provide an enhanced experience for our hardworking corn pickers and for our sweet and loyal customers. We look forward to providing more room and especially more shade during the hot summer months of our Texas corn season.
We have a long way to go and a short time to get there but are excited for the results and next phase of our family’s sweet corn tradition.
We have successfully concluded our 2023 corn season.
The past two weeks have been very busy, very hot, and very rewarding. We look forward to doing it all over again next year. Until then, please enjoy the fruits of our labor!
It’s truly a joyous occasion to welcome this little one to our family, especially as the first member of our fourth generation sweet corn lineage. With her timely arrival just before the corn season, it appears that she is all set to embrace her role in our family tradition.
Just like the sweet corn that flourishes during the season, we are excited that her life will be filled with sweetness, growth, and abundance. We look forward to cherishing these sweet beginnings and the memories we will continue creating as a family.
We will be back at the roadside stand Monday morning at 8:00 a.m. providing you with the sweetest corn Texas has to offer. We are located one mile West of Lindsay on the South side of Highway 82. See you again soon!
It goes without saying that each Father’s Day is different from the last.
Just last week, our father was promoted to GREAT granddad (aka great papa) when his eldest grandchild’s wife gave birth to a fourth generation sweet corn family member.
Our dad has always been a hardworking and innovative man, not to mention a conversationalist on most days. Aside from that, most of you have likely noticed his working man hands and his distinctive baby blue eyes.
Here of late, you have witnessed our father taking a back seat and it is likely that he no longer recalls your name. He still enjoys watching the fruits of his labor, his grandkids hard at work, and seeing customers flock to his roadside stand.
At the age of 84 he is more feeble, his work has ceased, yet he is still extremely talkative and has the same large working man hands and those baby blue eyes.
His regression the past few years is the result of dementia. He is quick to forget recent events, but he has the keen ability to recall detailed memories from his earlier life. He may not remember you, he may tell you stories from his past, and he will often repeat himself.
Thank you for not losing patience with our father when you see him at the corn stand. Sadly, the best of him is fading. It is your faces, your smiles, your hugs, and your appreciation for his sweet crop that is more than his family can ask for.
We appreciate your continued love and support for our blue-eyed, previously hardworking, husband, father, papa, and great granddad. Our father has instilled in us a work ethic that will be passed along for generations to come.
What an unforgettable day! It was great seeing so many faces, some familiar and some new. It is coming up on 5:00 p.m. and we have another load of fresh picked corn heading to the roadside stand shortly.
You still have time to grab a bag in time for your Father’s Day celebrations. Thank you for having faith in us today!
We have a healthy challenge ahead of us as we head into Saturday, but we are grateful that our extended corn family is safe after last night’s storms.
We anticipate grabbing our five gallon buckets and resorting to hand picking the remainder of this blown down crop. It will be a bit more back breaking than usual and might take a tad longer but we are up for the challenge.
We appreciate your grace and patience and look forward to seeing you in the morning with the goal to be at the roadside stand by 8:00 a.m. One mile West of Lindsay on the South side of Hwy 82
First day of our 2023 season resulted in a record breaking day! Our corn pickers are getting their much needed rest and preparing to be back at it Friday and Saturday, weather permitting.
We appreciate your continued support and patience as we work diligently to get our corn onto hundreds of family’s tables across North Texas and beyond.
You can find us at the roadside stand one mile West of Lindsay on the South side of Highway 82 starting at 8:00 a.m.
Thank you for another successful corn season! We hope you enjoy your corn over the next weeks and months and we already look forward to seeing you again next year.
We anticipate picking fresh sweet corn throughout the day on Tuesday with the goal to stretch into the afternoon and possibly early evening. This will give you one last chance to grab some fresh ears for dinner and to stuff your freezers full.
We will be at the roadside stand starting 8:00 a.m. and are located one mile West of Lindsay on the South side of Highway 82.
We hope everyone had a wonderful day celebrating fathers near and dear.
It is days like this that we appreciate the very person that afforded us this sweet opportunity.
Our father’s ambition to plant an acre of sweet corn four decades ago afforded each of his children the experience of running a small business during their summer breaks. It started with his oldest son and was passed along to all six children as they came of age. The tradition now continues with his grandchildren.
Luckily for our devoted corn customers, our father has 15 grandchildren and that one acre of corn has turned into 24 acres. This means we should have plenty of corn for years to come!
We will be back at the roadside stand Monday morning at 8:00 a.m. See you again soon!
